AFC Fylde make former Blackburn Rovers youngster their latest summer signing
Midfielder joins AFC Fylde ahead of their opening National League match
AFC Fylde have added to their selection options with the signing of midfielder Zack Stritch on a short-term deal.
The 20-year-old came through the ranks at Blackburn Rovers, featuring in their Academy set-up and playing in Premier League 2 along the way.
Stritch had a loan spell at Curzon Ashton in National League North last season, playing seven games for them.
His debut for Curzon came in their 5-1 loss against the Coasters at the end of February.
He will be available for Fylde’s opening National League fixture this afternoon, when they host Wealdstone at Mill Farm.
Speaking on his latest recruit, Coasters head coach Craig Mahon said: “We’re really pleased to see Zach added to the squad.
“He’s been developed in a really promising academy and clearly has a lot of talent.
“Now it’s over to Zach to make the most of the opportunity and perform when he gets the chance.
“He’ll provide us with another attacking midfielder, which we felt we needed, and we’re really pleased to have him with us.”
Stritch becomes the Coasters’ fifth signing of the summer after the arrivals of Aaron Drewe, Adam Lewis, Dylan Allen-Hadley and Cedric Main.
