Watford Youngster To Spend Rest of Season With Diamonds

Pitching In Southern League Premier Division Central club AFC Rushden & Diamonds have brought in striker or wide midfielder Bogdan Marian on `work experience` from Championship side Watford until the end of the 2022/23 season.

The 18-year-old Romanian-born forward joined the Hornets originally as a goalkeeper at the age of 8 and remained a keeper until switching positions ahead of the 2021/22 season.

He has spent the first part of this season on loan at Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division outfit Tring Athletic, scoring 21 goals for a combination of youth and senior teams across all competitions.

Diamonds manager Chris Nunn told https://www.afcdiamonds.com: “I received a tip-off about Bogdan from a contact and having spoken to Joel Anker and Charlie Waller about him as they have been at Tring this season, they gave him a glowing recommendation.

“He’s left-footed, a real battler and lightning quick. At Watford, of the current squad only Ismaila Sarr posted a quicker time in their speed tests. It’s an injection of raw pace into the squad and of course, he’s got an eye for goal too. I’m really pleased to be able to bring Bogdan into the club and look forward to seeing him in a Diamonds shirt”.
