Two More Added to Long Eaton Squad

Pitching In Southern League Premier Division Central new boys Long Eaton United have added two more new players to their promotion-winning squad.

Striker Cameren Philip has moved to the club ahead of the 2023/24 season.

The 23-year-old Birmingham-born forward is a former West Bromwich Albion and Birmingham City youth player, who joins the Blues after spells at Tamworth, Stratford Town and Stourport Swifts.

Philip is a tall, quick, and versatile centre forward with an eye for goal.

Long Eaton have also announced the signing of exciting young forward Adam Clark from League One side Rotherham United.

Derbyshire-based Clark signed for Leicester City at the age of 14 after being scouted as a centre half but switched to left wing during his time with the Foxes, before being scouted and signed by the Millers as a striker at the age of 16.

The 18-year-old’s two-year scholarship with Rotherham had come to an end and Long Eaton boss Ian Deakin was quick to snap him up after seeing the youngster in action whilst working with the Mansfield Town academy.

Described as aggressive, versatile, dynamic, quick, and strong – the left footed forward will bolster Deakin’s squad as the Blues head into the 2023/24 season.
