We can confirm the loan signing of 20-year-old, 6’5” defender Saac (Isaac) Lee from Radcliffe FC until the end of the current season. Under the terms of the agreement Isaac will not be able to play against his parent club. Having trialed at Manchester City, Isaac went on to sign a two year deal with Stoke City and since his release has featured at AFC Fylde and Ramsbottom United. He became Radcliffe’s 10th signing during the summer featuring in all pre-season games and earning a contract. He has had loan spells at Prestwich Heys and Widnes this season.

Additionally, we can confirm that another of our Under 21s, striker Luke Draysey, has signed first team forms after impressing Dave Cooke and Dale Belford in training.
