Li-Bau Loaned

With Yusuf Mersin’s departure the Tigers have moved to bring in Li-Bau Stowell on loan from Championship side Preston North End until the end of the season.

Born in Hong Kong, the 17-year-old goalkeeper, who first joined North End as an U10, is highly rated having put pen to paper on a three-year contract at Deepdale in the summer with the club holding the option to extend by an additional 12 months.

Stowell is no stranger to the Northern Premier Division having spent a short time on loan at Warrington Town in August where he made three appearances.

Welcome Li-Bau

Ton Up for Shak

Congratulations to Shakeel Jones-Griffiths who recently made his 100th appearance for the Tigers away in the recent draw at Lancaster City.

Joining us on dual reg with Prestwich Heys in 2023, Shak has been a regular ever since and just has the solitary goal to his name.

 

Mersin Leaves

We can confirm that Yusuf Mersin has left the club to re-join Runcorn Linnets on a permanent deal.

Yusuf joined from Mickleover in the summer and has made 33 appearances across all competitions keeping 10 clean sheets, after a brief spell on loan earlier in the year he has now joined the NPL Division One West promotion chasers permanently.

We thank Yusuf for his contribution in his time at the club and wish him well in the future.

Park Life

We have added to the defensive ranks with the loan signing of Damon Park on loan from Radcliffe FC.

Damon has appeared eight times for the National League North side and they feel the next step in his development is come to the Tigers.

Welcome Damon!

Tunde Checks In

Hyde United are delighted to secure the permanent signing of striker Tunde Owolabi.

The 30-Year-Old signs from Warrington Rylands, having been on loan at Leek Town most recently, and has also had a loan spell at Stalybridge Celtic this season.

Previously the Antwerp born striker had a brief spell with the Tigers back in 2017 but he really shot to prominence at Radcliffe scoring 22 goals in the 2018/19 season and at FC United of Manchester scoring 28 goals in the 2019/20 season.

He has since had spells in Scotland and Ireland and reunites with manager Michael Clegg from his time at Macclesfield FC.

Tunde said ”It’s been a difficult season this season (for me) with injuries and it’s good to come back to the club after all these years.  It’s good to hook up with the manager again, he’s someone I look up to and respect and he’s always got the best out of me”

Welcome Tunde!

 

 

Bruno to add some punch

Michael Clegg has added to his striking options by bringing in young striker Bruno Cina on loan from Stockport County.

Cino is only 18 years old and signed for the League One side in July 2024 from Colchester United and joined the academy.  He has made three substitute appearances for the Hatters so far, including scoring the winning penalty in the shootout v Wigan in the EFL Trophy in November.

Welcome Bruno!

Dontai Gabidon signs on Loan

Ahead of tonight’s re-arranged fixture at Lancaster City (7:45PM) we have secured the signing of winger Dontai Gabidon, on loan from Macclesfield FC until the end of the season.

The 24 Year Old signed for the Silkmen from FC United of Manchester in September 2024, making 15 appearances.  After Robbie Savage’s departure the winger has struggled to force his way into the first team and has had loan spells at Warrington Town and Stalybridge Celtic this season.

Manager Michael Clegg was delighted to secure the signing saying:-

”Dontai is someone I have been after as a manager for a while, but the timing has never been right, he’s been at FC United and Macclesfield so knows what it means to play in big games in front of big crowds and he’s a big game player which is what we need with some big games coming up.”
