Funnell Becomes Hykeham's Second Signing


Yesterday, saw the signing of Chris Funnell on a year long deal from recently folded Hunters Leap FC. Chris Funnell was very keen to sign for the club, and has immediately taken up the Head of the Fines Committee role within the football club.

Funnell, who is also signed for Lincoln United Reserves on Saturdays, was last years leading reserve team goalscorer in the Lincolnshire league, and enjoyed his rise and step up into the first team. His only appearances in the first team last season came from the bench, but the Ashby Avenue outfit have high hopes on the striker for the future.

Funnell looked sharp in his first training session, and had appeared to settle in fantastically, with his new team-mates. Jon Page had this to say about his new signing

"Chris is a fantastic young striker. Strong, quick, good on the ball and is a massive asset to our football club. He will work fantastically well with Wilson, Daubney, Sturton, Fatchett and Froggatt. I can see Chris flourishing in this team."
