excuse my ignorance but who is the nigerian we have on trial?

Re: nigerian
 

Shakermaker posted these links on the Macclesfield thread:
Alex Akande - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and
Nigeria - Alexander Oluwatayo Akande - Profile with news, career statistics and history - Soccerway

and he's played for our reserves.

He played as a triallist for Blackpool against Hibs down in Devon, where he was listed as Alex Tayo.

And there's this as well:

I can't imagine he would qualify for a work permit

Re: nigerian
 

It is Akande who is waiting for work permit :)

Re: nigerian
 

if he can replicate the efforts of the video into one season then we might just have a new crowd favourite!

Re: nigerian
 

Not sure whether or not a work permit will be required. Perhaps he has a British or European passport. He played for the reserves against Preston the other week. I understood, that players without International clearance could only play in behind closed doors matches or matches with no admission fee. It cost me 4 quid to watch him against PNE, he looked quite handy as well. Good hold up player, quick and strong.

Re: nigerian
 

Shame that Alex Akande is the goalie in that vid :D

Re: nigerian
 

Im excited about this!!!!!, looks quality and something that would more than strengthen our squad!!!
