Halliday signs for Leamington after successful trial
Another of the trialists that have been appearing for Leamington throughout their pre season schedule has been snapped up by manager Scott Easterlow with the signing of Dennis Halliday.
Halliday stepped off the bench to score the second goal against Coventry City's U21s, and having featured in warm-up games prior to that, has now been officially added to the squad.
“Dennis has done really well since coming in with us," said Easterlow.
“I’m pleased to offer him a deal and look forward to working with him.
“He’s not the finished article but I believe he has something we can work with.
“This club has a rich history of propelling young forwards on to bigger and better things. Hopefully for us and Dennis he is the next to do that.”
Halliday arrives from another Gold and Black-wearing club, having spent the second half of last season in the professional ranks at Scottish League One side East Fife.
Born in London, the 21-year-old already has a surprising amount of experience playing in different parts of the British Isles.
Having spent time in the Youth system at West Ham United, he has had spells in Wales with Newtown AFC, in the North West Counties League with Market Drayton Town, and the Midland League with Wolverhampton Casuals, before stints at Welwyn Garden City and Corby Town at Step 4 saw him earn his move north of the border in January.
“I’m delighted to be joining the club and can’t wait to get started,” said Halliday.
“I’m looking forward to meeting the fans, working with the team, and giving everything I have to help the club achieve success this season.”
