Big Striker Checks Into Trico Stadium

Redditch United have signed 6`2” striker Riley O’Sullivan from Pitching In Southern League Premier Division Central rivals Hednesford Town.

The 21-year-old had joined the Pitmen in late October 2021 from United Counties League Premier Division South side Coventry United.

He began his career in League Two Mansfield Town’s youth academy before moving to Coventry United last season.

His fantastic start to the 2021/22 campaign saw him bag 15 goals in 15 appearances and caught the eye of clubs throughout non-League football with the Pitmen beating several Step 2 and Step 3 clubs to his signing.

Redditch manager Matt Clarke told his club’s website: “Riley is someone I’ve had my eye on for a long time. We had him in 18 months ago in pre-season but felt he wasn’t quite ready, and we’ve watched him develop over the last couple of seasons into a very good player. He ticks a lot of the boxes that you look for in a player; he’s big, strong, and quick, and he will cause problems for opposing teams and give us much-needed competition for the strikers.

“He’s missed a big chunk of the season with an injury and has been back for a month following his four-month absence, but he has already scored 3 and hopefully, he can kick us on again moving forward”.
