Hereford sign player who scored seven minute hat-trick for them in pre-season friendly

Hereford finally sign a player who stunned fans as he scored a seven minute hat-trick for them in a pre-season friendly this summer.

Lekan Osideko, joins the Bulls after a successful trial period, but everyone was left wondering just who the unnamed trialist was as he made quite the impact.

The Bulls finished the 2021-22 National League North season in 12th place, picking up 55 points from 42 games played.

CLUB STATEMENT:

Subject to National League and FA approval, Lekan Osideko has signed with the Bulls after a successful period on trial.

Trialist 17, as he was known during pre-season, scored a hat-trick inside 7 minutes and finished pre-season as our top goal scorer. Having played for Chatham Town last season, Lekan scored 7 goals in 16 appearances whilst helping Chatham reach 2nd place in the Southern Counties East Football League.

Gowling had this to say about our new forward: “He has impressed pre season with his movement in and around the box. He really has an eye for goal especially as he has ended pre season our top goal-scorer. lets hope he can take that form into the league.”

– STATEMENT ENDS –

Lekan Osideko @ballerlekz, wrote via his Twitter account: “New beginnings 🙏🏾 happy to be on board can’t wait for the season to start!! 🎉”

Take a look at the Lekan’s hat-trick at Coalville below! He also netted against Malvern Town and Alvechurch.

Speaking after his hat-trick at Coalville, Bulls boss Gowling said: “He’s been with us from the first or second week of pre-season so he knows what I expect of him and the work-rate we expect.

“He’s got better. When he first came in he didn’t understand how we do things, he’s progressed and done better week in and week out.

“Sometimes for a forward player it’s good to watch and see where those gaps appear. He gets in the box and wants to score goals.

“He has got a hunger to score and did that today. He has give lads competition now. We’ve got some decent front players in already, we’ll have a chat with him but he’s done pretty well.

“Ryan and Miles are very direct and he probably gets in different areas. Where as Ryan and Miles will try and create more he’s a bit more ruthless and wants to score goals.

“They are probably selfish runs to score goals, that’s what strikers are.”
