Striker signs

Last updated : 30 August 2016 By The Chairman

Striker Freddie Ladapo has signed a loan deal from Crystal Palace until January. The 23-year-old also has an option of extending the loan until the end of the season. Formerly a trainee at Colchester he has had spells at Kidderminster, Grays Athletic and Margate before moving to Palace.

Stephen Robinson said, “It gives us another option. There has been a lot of talk about it and we have strikers here who are playing well, but for whom goals haven't quite come. They will do - but another striker helps take the pressure off them. It is a given for anyone who plays for me; they will cover ground, put tackles in and put their body on the line. If they don't, they won't be in.”
