We are excited to announce the signing of forward Adan George.
Adan joins us following his release from FC Halifax Town upon the expiration of his contract.
He joined up with the Bucks at the end of last week and was the mystery trialist who scored a first-half hat-trick in our 6-1 victory against a Connah’s Quay Nomads XI at Compton on Saturday.
Adan, who is 23 years old, missed the last few months of the Shaymen’s season following surgery on an injured quadricep muscle. Having not so much as trained with the Bucks before Saturday, he made a quick impression on manager Kevin Wilkin, who moved quickly to bring him to the SEAH Stadium.
Speaking after the Bucks’ penultimate pre-season game, a 2-1 home defeat by Hednesford Town, Kevin spoke about what he hopes the relationship between Adan and the Bucks can yield.
“Yeah, he came in, (it was) the first time he’d been in with us, and he scored a hat trick. He showed some really bright moments, and he’s a little bit different to what we’ve got at the moment and, as we know, finding good strikers isn’t the easiest thing. Hopefully we can work with Adan and progress his game. He’s had a good period out injured towards the end of last season, which kind of knocked him back a little bit, but I think he showed on Saturday that he’s bright and fit, and we got a good glimpse of that again tonight.”
Adan again fits the mould of a player who Kevin feels can kick on, benefitting themselves and the club in the bargain.
“We need extra players to complement what Matty (Stenson) is doing. Adan is still learning and will grow and improve. He’s the right sort of age, and hopefully his best years are ahead of him. We need competition for places, whatever that looks like, and we have a bit more depth about us now than we had at this time last season.”
Welcome to the Bucks, Adan!
