🎩 Third time’s the charm! Our hat-trick of signings is complete – welcome Niall Watson to Hednesford Town! 🔥⚽ #HatTrickComplete #UpThePitmen
Hednesford Town are delighted to confirm the signing of exciting forward Niall Watson from American side, South Georgia Tormenta, subject to FA and International clearance.
Niall, 24, started his career at Accrington Stanley making his professional debut in 2017 before loan moves to Marine, Runcorn and Widnes followed where he scored 20 goals in 25 appearances.
A move to Southport followed in 2020 where he really made his mark; a terrific return of 33 goals in 80 starts in the National League North made Niall one of the most coveted attacking players in Non League with an outstanding goals to game ratio and subsequently earning a move across the pond to South Georgia Tormenta where he signed a 2 year professional contract.
Manager Gavin Hurren moved quickly to secure his services when made aware of his availability and had the following to say
‘ Niall is a fantastic signing for the football club; a player with bags of talent and fits the profile we are looking to create within the squad. His signing fits perfectly into the blend of young and experienced players we are looking to build here at the club and from the first time I met Niall and his Dad it was patently clear they brought into the vision and philosophy that we are implementing here at Keys Park. At 24, Niall has huge experience across a number of different leagues and there was a lot of interest in him ; rightly so as he is an exceptional talent; so to get the signing over the line is a credit to everyone here at the club. Niall’s ethos , character and personal traits are perfectly aligned with the clubs and I am excited to see him in action’
An exclusive first interview with Niall will be aired on Sunday
Welcome to Keys Park Niall!
