Ducks Sign New Centre Forward

Pitching In Southern League Division One Central club Aylesbury United have announced the signing of centre forward Owen James.

The 22-year-old previously played for Ardley United, and under Ducks` assistant manager Ryan Gurton at Buckingham Athletic.

He was at Oxford United for seven years as a junior, and has also played for Easington Sports and Abingdon United.

Last season his playing time was limited by his army commitments, but was still busy on the pitch playing for both the army under-23 and senior teams, scoring 40 goals across all competitions.

Aylesbury manager Jack Wells told his club’s website: “We're yet to see OJ feature for us – similar to Lewis Crosbie as both have been away – but OJ will give us another strong option going forward. He's a powerful centre forward but who poses real technical quality that my staff have been aware of before. He will be back with the squad this week as we prepare for Friday night’s pre-season friendly against Winslow”.
