We are delighted to confirm our first new arrival of pre season, prolific striker, Ruben Jerome.
The 29-year-old makes the lateral move across Step 5 to join us from NCEL side Emley AFC.
Ruben was the top scorer in the NCEL Premier Division last season with 39 goals taking his side to the league title.
His career started at Southport before spells at Ramsbottom, Workington & Warrington Town. It will be the first time Rueben has played in the North West Counties League and we are excited to see him pull on the white and blue.
Football runs in his family, with his brother Cameron having played in the Premier League with the likes of Birmingham City & Crystal Palace.
On signing Ruben, manager Dave McNabb commented:
“Ruben is a player I’ve come across many times and he’s always impressed.
“He’s an all-round striker, he’s quick and powerful and can play on the shoulder, as well has holding the ball up and allowing players to play off him.
“He has a great range of finishing and is a proven goalscorer at this level and higher.”
We can’t wait to see Ruben in action this coming season! And with a squad to develop in the coming weeks, who else will be joining him? Keep up with the latest signing news across our social media feeds.
