| Hinckley United sign three | |
|
Dean Thomas has boosted his squad after agreeing terms with three new players after
they impressed in the recent friendly against Leicester City, and is negotiating with
a fourth. Striker Phil Green from Worcester City, former loanee Charlie Raglan, who was released by Port Vale, and ex-Hull City and Leicester City Youth goalkeeper Rob Peet have all agreed deals, whilst former Leicester City midfielder Aman Verma is still in talks with the manager. DT told the Nuneaton News: “We are bringing in experienced Conference North quality players. The additions will improve us. Aman wants to come here so we are sorting a deal out. We’ve agreed with the others already. Aman, Phil and Charlie have all played at this level or beyond. Rob was with Hull City. He’s only 19, but he’s 6ft 3in and I’m happy with what I’ve seen from him.” Hinckley lost their latest friendly 4-1 at home to Leicester, however, DT was happy to see an improved performance, and a record crowd of 3411 boosting the coffers an added bonus. Hinckley had managed to stay on level terms with City, 1-1 at half time, thanks to a superb free kick from Phil Green. However City rolled out the 'big guns' and powered away with the match for teh secondhalf with David Nugent, Jamie Vardy and Ben Marshall all scoring excellent goals. |
