Bucks add two strikers

AFC Telford United boss Graham Hyde has secured the signings of Aaron Williams and Marco Adaggio from Walsall and Ellesmere Rangers respectively.

Following the injury to Steve Jones, Jake Reid has been Telford's primary striker, mainly playing up front by his own, and has had to harbour much of the goal-scoring responsibilities in recent weeks.

This has prompted the new Bucks boss to add some depth to his attacking options and believes the new forwards will stiffen competition for places in the starting lineup and help share the load.

"Aaron has played in the first team at Walsall this season. He's a young player I have looked at over a few games so we'll see what he can do for us at this level," the 42-year-old told the Shropshire Star.

"We're a little bit short up front and Jake has been playing up there on his own. He needs a bit of help and bringing these lads in should help.

"Marco has scored goals in the Conference North. He has been training with us over the last seven or eight weeks and I think it makes sense to sign him up."

Williams joined the Bucks on an initial one-month loan, while Adaggio has been offered non-contract terms by the club.
