Salford City confirms the deadline day signing of Hakeeb Adelakun!
The attacker has signed a one-year deal and arrives after leaving Lincoln City in the summer.
He spent the second half of the season on loan at Doncaster Rovers, where he was one of the most in-form players of the campaign. The 28-year-old scored nine goals and created seven in 19 regular season League Two appearances as Donny stormed into the play-offs.
Now Haks is looking to bring that form to The Peninsula Stadium, and he is keen to have the chance of working with Karl Robinson.
“I’m buzzing, can’t wait to get started!
“Working with the Gaffer has been a big pull for me, and the club itself. I’ve been aware of the journey on TV; it’s something I’d like to be part of and I want to come and express myself, score loads of goals.
“I’m hoping to pick up here exactly where I left off there.
“I was meant to sign for the Gaffer a few seasons ago which didn’t work out but since we’ve had conversations, and I’ve seen what he’s done at his previous clubs which has been big for me.
“I’ve also played against him many times and I’ve always enjoyed the way his teams set up; it’s more catered to me the way his wingers and attackers play, they’re very free to express themselves.
“My interactions with the Gaffer have always been great so yeah I can’t wait to get started.”
The move is subject to EFL and FA approval and ratification, but welcome to The Peninsula Stadium Haks!
