KIDDERMINSTER Harriers have signed young forward Jason Adigun from Dagenham and Redbridge.
Adigun spent last season on loan at Eastbourne Borough where he played under current Harriers boss Adam Murray.
The 21-year-old scored six goals and provided seven assists in 25 appearances in the National League South last season.
Adigun’s arrival comes after Harriers sold last season’s top scorer and star striker Ashley Hemmings to Dagenham for an undisclosed fee.
Murray said: “Jason was someone I wanted to bring in, he came to us on loan at Eastbourne last season.
“If I’m being totally honest, he totally changed our season. He is another young one and is an unbelievable talent in terms of his ability, and his ability to create and score goals.
“He is at a great age and has a hunger to prove a point.
“There was a lot of interest in him from the EFL and his thing was that he didn’t want to go into the EFL and be a squad player – he wanted to be playing and be given a platform.
“We’re giving him that opportunity. It’s really strange in how it has happened with Ash Hemmings going the other way, it wasn’t planned but it has worked well in terms of being able to replace someone in that position.
“Jason is at the start of his career but he has the ability to score and assist and he’s another one I’m looking forward to working with.”
Adigun can play as a striker or out wide and came through Charlton Athletic’s academy.
