March joins Forest Green?


It is understood that prolific striker Josh March has joined Forest Green Rovers.

The Leamington striker - formerly with Alvechurch - has scored 24 goals in all competitions this season.

According to some sources, the fee is believed to be around £50,000.

Update: Forest Green have confirmed the signing for 'an undisclosed fee'.

"We are absolutely delighted to see Josh make the step up into the Football League,’ said Leamington manager Paul Holleran. 

"He had a number of clubs looking at him and he spoke to several of them, but has made the decision that Forest Green Rovers is the right move for him. He is moving to an upwardly mobile, ambitious club with good football people. Director of Football Richard Hughes watched Josh several times, and in Mark Cooper they have a very good manager who I am sure will get the best out of him.

"It’s been an epic rise for Josh and he has been helped along the way by some great non league football people, none more so than Ian Long and Richard Thorndike (Josh’s manager and Chairman at Alvechurch). We’re just pleased to have been able to play a part and put the cherry on the top for him if you like."
