Cassidy Strengthens Attack

29/09/2023

Following training on Thursday evening, much sought after Jake Cassidy has signed for the club.

Grant Black "Jake needs to introduction having played at the highest level and lived the dream.

After learning Jake  was possibly returning I was keen to chat with him but not really thinking we would have a chance with the lucrative offers already on the table from other clubs.

Luckily when we met we hit it off straight away and have a lot of the same principles when it comes to football and despite the offers he has had he has  come to us because he likes what we are about.

He will bring undoubted quality and a goalscoring threat but also he's hungry to get back enjoying and playing his football so will be determined to succeed

He will also be someone who the young lads should look up to and be able to give advice as I say he's been at the highest level and made over 100 league appearances for the likes of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tranmere Rovers so it's great for those lads.

Cassidy was enthusiastic about signing for Ossett United saying "After meeting the Gaffa and listening to his vision for the club and the ambition at Ingfield it was something I wanted to be a part of. I have also spoken to Tom Claisse who knows the staff and some of the players and spoke highly of everyone involved.

I had taken some time out of the game, and was unsure if I was going to continue playing but after the conversations we have had I am happy to be joining the club, looking forward to getting match fit and being a vital part of the club moving forward.

I am looking forward to meeting everyone and cannot wait to get going.

Jake along with yesterdays signing Tom Claisse are available for selection this weekend.
