Stickied Confirmed Signings 2024/25

[Heedtastic]

He was picked up last season by Hartlepool playing Northern League football for Dunston (in Gateshead), it was a bit of a surprise as he never looked anything special for Dunston. But he did ok for Hartlepool, scoring a few goals as they surprisingly stayed up. It'll be interesting to see how he gets on at this level.

 

[Chris FGR]

Aldershot have signed our highly rated 18 year old first year pro Louis McGrory on a 1 month loan.

Talented midfielder, who can play central, wide right and even at right back if needed. Be interesting to see how he does.

Good move for him, shows are Academy is doing well!


Also shows how far Aldershot have fallen, taking little tiny FGR's youth player on loan...

 

[Si Robin]

Rob Dickie is officially back on loan from Reading. Been missed quite a lot as we haven't been able to play our best formation of 5-3-2 without him. He should slot straight back into the team.

 

[Greenacres]

Good move for him, shows are Academy is doing well!

Indeed...plus I am led to believe there are more waiting in the wings, following him and Aden Baldwin, be interesting to see how many are awarded contracts for next season.

 

[Chris FGR]

We've signed ex Chelsea, Millwall and Newport goalkeeper Lenny Pidgeley off Leatherhead on a deal until the end of the season.

 

[Boz]

Scott Fenwick joins on loan from Hartlepool until the end of the season

Well he can score at PP, got the Pools goal in last season's 1-1.
Seems a bit young and slim for a Brabin signing though.

It's called living within your means....

Be interesting to see how much game time he gets, I saw him at the ground today, looks about 12.

You're not wrong.

You're fine, it didn't.

 

[Chris FGR]

You did seem a bit touchy. Bad hair day?

Try a bit harder then.

 

[EnglishRed]

You're not wrong.

Stranger danger

 

[Harrier94]

Happy to be corrected but I think today is the loan deadline day so if your club needs a player they have a few hours left.

 

[Luke Imp]

Indeed.

We've signed some guy on a youth loan from Huddersfield. He's been training with us for a month or so apparently so it'll just be an extended trial really.

 

[McMark]

Barrow bring in Barnsley midfielder and former Chester loanee Brad Abbott until the end of the season.

Good signing.

 

[The_Boss]

We've also taken a lad from Barnsley, Matty Templeton. Looks straight out of the U9's squad.

 

[McMark]

Good signing.

A good signing for whom though!!!

 

[PaulHaddock]

We've signed Jordan Stewart from Swindon until the end of the season. Winger/ striker/ AM. Don't know anything about him. Hope he's better than Hurst's other signings since Jan (bar Nolan and Jennings).

Clearly looking at players for next season, our teenagers must be no good if we're looking at other teams.

 

[GuiseleySteve]

Liam Dickinson goes out on loan to Bradford Park Avenue for the rest of this season. Surprised at that, no plan B for us now. I seem to recall Emile Sinclair's loan expires early April too.

Why's that happened? Seemed from the game against us that he was the kind of in yer face player handy for a relegation scrap.

No idea Boz, he's our top scorer too. Hardly prolific but still a bizarre decision. Tom Craddock and Olli Johnson are both just back from injury but nowhere near match fit and neither have Liams robust attributes.

 

[Luke Imp]

Craig Stanley's triggered an appearance clause (25) so he's got another year here.

 

[Sparrow]

Bad luck.

 

[I Blame Paul Mayo]

Stanley has done pretty well to be fair. Shame about his injuries but he's worth another year I think.

 

[Luke Imp]

Yeah, he's done well to be fair but on the flip side of that, our central midfield options this season haven't been great. Slightly worried that we already have Power, Stanley and Tempest (apparently agreed a new deal) tied down for next season because none of them are particularly mobile and means that our next midfield signings (or perhaps two) have got to be very good or we'll be going into next season with the same issues as this.

 

[Davidimp]

Bit harsh on Tempest, by far our most mobile CM and takes a very decent corner too.
I do agree we do need quicker in thought and legs in there for next season and someone who can hit defence splitting passes.....
No biggy!!! LOL!!!!!
