ATTACKING threat Jason Addigun is Adam Murray’s latest Harriers summer signing.
The exciting youngster, 21, joins us following his departure from Dagenham & Rebdbridge, and reunites with Reds boss Murray, under whom he enjoyed a fruitful loan spell at Eastbourne Borough last season.
A former Charlton youngster, he came through the ranks there from the age of 12 to earn professional terms, picking up first team loan experience with Welling along the way where his attacking prowess started to emerge.
Adigun, who can play up front or out wide, signed for Dagenham a year ago, but really flourished in moving to Eastbourne with Murray, featuring 24 times as they made the push into the play-offs. He scored six goals along the way and supplied the ammunition for plenty more, leaving the boss convinced they needed to work together again.
Murray explained: “Jason was someone I wanted to bring in, he came to us on loan at Eastbourne last season.
“If I’m being totally honest, he totally changed our season. He is another young one and is an unbelievable talent in terms of his ability, and his ability to create and score goals.
“He is at a great age and has a hunger to prove a point. There was a lot of interest in him from the EFL and his thing was that he didn’t want to go into the EFL and be a squad player – he wanted to be playing and be given a platform.
“We’re giving him that opportunity. It’s really strange in how it has happened with Ash Hemmings going the other way, it wasn’t planned but it has worked well in terms of being able to replace someone in that position.
“Jason is at the start of his career but he has the ability to score and assist and he’s another one I’m looking forward to working with.”
Jason’s deal with Harriers is subject to FA and National League confirmation.
