Title: New Signing- Ryan Brooke
Post by: GolfRoader on May 26, 2012, 12:45:55 PM
From main site:

Altrincham FC have agreed terms with 21 year-old Oldham Athletic striker Ryan Brooke (d.o.b. 4 October, 1990, height 6ft 1inch) who is being released by Oldham Athletic at the end of June 2012. Ryan spent much of 2011/12 season on loan, firstly from September 2011, at Barrow, where he played six games and scored twice. In January, 2012, Ryan went to AFC Telford United on a season-long loan and scored on his debut, against Braintree. At Telford, he made 7(+5) appearances in all, scoring twice. He had previously made 30 Football League and FA Cup appearances for Oldham Athletic.
2010/11 League 2(+11), 0 goals
2009/10 League 2(+13), 1 goal
2009/10 FA Cup 0(+1), 0 goals
2008/09 League 0(+1), 1 goal

looks like he's scored a few at conference level, hopefully he can be prolific in the BSN.

Welcome Ryan and good luck at Alty.  Seems like a young player whish is good but with a bit of experience.

The target is 44 goals mate....

Sounds like a good signing. And isn't it nice to have a good chunk of our business done before the end of May?

Keep it up, Lee. Very impressed so far this summer.

YouTube scouting... Scored with his first ever touch in senior football to win the game late on

Yes it is, is that 14 players we've signed? - just need a few defenders now

Not a prolific scorer but at 6' 1" he could be the perfect foil for McGivern/another new striker. Good luck at Alty Ryan.

Well, I'm not sure that a total of two Conference goals equates to "a few".....!

In contradiction of the statement on the official site, I'm not even certain that he ever scored for Barrow:

Here's his record at AFC Telford:

And here's a brief interview with him:

And here he is with AFC Teford's answer to Brian Flynn:

From an Oldham supporter................


Young lad, enthusiatic, looks decent to me - will be good for you I think. Lots expected of him at our gaff but fortunately we were blessed with loads of 20 goal plus strikers so he didn't get a sniff (Dickov messed up and should have give him a run out instead of Kuqi/Reid and others)
