Clegg Joins South Shields

South Shields have added to their squad just days before they travel to Hereford.

Rio Clegg has joined them from Radcliffe for a significant undisclosed fee. Last season he scored 27 goals.

Clegg who is 24 said he was 'buzzing' to be signing for South Shields.

"It’s my first time stepping into a full-time environment, and I think this is the perfect Club for me to continue my career.

“I love the football that’s being played here, it suits me really well, and I can’t wait to get started."

Clegg score for Radcliffe at Edgar Street last April. Hereford won the game 3-1.
