Highly rated striker arrives at Greenwich Avenue

Basford United are delighted to announce the signing of striker Oliver Wilson from Step 3 side Hednesford Town.

The 20-year-old arrives at Greenwich Avenue after attracting interest from several clubs higher up the pyramid, with the Ambers winning the race for his signature.

Wilson began his youth career at Mansfield Town before moving on to National League outfit Boston United, where he progressed from the U23s to the first team at just 18 years of age.

Standing at 6ft 4, Wilson brings a dominant aerial presence and physicality, making him a serious threat in both boxes.

Manager Martin Carruthers expressed his excitement at securing the young forward, saying:

"Delighted to welcome Oli to Basford United.

"A very exciting young prospect who a number of clubs were after.

"He turned down a deal at Hednesford and the lad just wants to play football.

"A big powerful striker who can score goals but also give us that physical presence up top.

"I’m excited and looking forward to seeing him score plenty of goals for us in the coming months."

Welcome to the Ambers, Oli.
