Tigers To Sign Teeside Messi?


The Rumour Mill is slowly starting to turn with the season finished and the Off-Season beginning, and Hykeham Tigers are one of the clubs are at the centre of a transfer storm!

After the success of the first season in the Sunday Football League, as Varsity City, Hykeham Tigers have already established themselves as a brilliant club to play for, not only on the pitch but off the pitch too.

The first name to enter the Rumour Mill was the self proclaimed "Teeside Messi" Christopher Quinn. Quinn, 26, is currently in the R.A.F, stationed at RAF Leauchers in Scotland, and his travelling issues will need to be taken into account if signing any deal with the Tigers. However, Quinn was very complimentary when talking about his talks with Tigers at present

"The lads who i've met and spoke to so far have been fantastic, I went on a night out with them and had a cracking time. There are some fantastic players in the team, and i'd love to be a part of the set up next season, lets just see what happens from here"

Also, flying around the rumour mill, was Spalding United's striker Simon Mowbray. Mowbray was seen talking to Tigers manager Giovannetti, at a training session for his son Oliver on Saturday Morning. This will spark rumours that Giovannetti is trying to tap up the former Hunters Leap man, which could see a potential reunion with Chris Funnell.


Finally, Tigers have announced a pay as you play deal with Boston United Coach Michael Bohan. Mike will come down on a pay as you play basis, and will assist in the coaching of the football club. Mike is a very highly qualified coach and currently manage's Boston United youngsters. Club Captain Matt Wilson spoke about this capture

"Mike is a top lad, and a fantastic player. Mike will play only when he can due to other committments, and he realises that we have to take into account the lads that are here all through the season but he's prepared for that."
