Dynamic goal scorer joins hornets on year long deal

Hebburn Town FC are delighted to announce our second summer signing in striker Connor Bell.

Connor joins the club from fellow Pitching In Northern Premier League East club Dunston UTS on a one year deal with option.

The 24 year old striker has a wealth of experience at this level as he has represented Dunston UTS, South Shields & Whitby Town over the years whilst in between those stints he has played professionally in Australia for Victorian State Division One side Preston Lions.

Prior to this Connor came through the ranks at Sunderland AFC academy and enjoyed professional spells at Scottish sides Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Morton.

Connor commented after signing the deal " I played against Hebburn last year in pre-season and I was impressed with the facility they had and hearing about the project they are working through. I can't wait to get going and being part of it, getting the fans back in the grounds and scoring goals in front of them"

Hornets manager Kevin Bolam said "Connor is a player we've been aware of for a while, he played against us last pre-season for Blyth Spartans and looked a dangerous player. We've kept tabs on him as he was playing in Australia etc and when the opportunity came along to speak with the lad we did just that. I'm pleased we could get the deal over the line and Connor adds another fantastic option to our already strong attacking line up. We are sure he'll excite the fans and bag plenty of goals"
