CASSIDY MAKES FIRST SIGNING 21/06/2007
Blue Square North club Workington have made their first summer capture by snapping up prolific hit man Michael Reed from Arngrove Northern League Division Two side Penrith.
And boss Tommy Cassidy is hoping the 22-year-old striker, formerly a Carlisle United trainee, follows the same path as Anthony Wright after his successful move from the Northern League outfit.
“I’m confident he can score goals at the higher level,” said Cassidy (pictured). “Sometimes players just have the knack, and I think he’s one of them.
“Anthony Wright has done well for me, and I hope this lad can do the same. Michael played once for me a couple of years ago and did quite well.
“He decided not to stay, and that was fine. But I have seen him a couple of times since, and he can score goals.”
UniBond Premier Division Gateshead tracked Carlisle-based Reed early last season but he wanted to stay at Penrith and they eventually signed Reds forward Neil Tarrant, who had disappointed at Borough Park.
In April, Reed equalled Penrith’s post-war club scoring record of twenty-seven league strikes in a season, set by Albert Clapperton in 1966/67.
Reed ended the campaign with twenty-seven league goals in twenty-seven matches, plus another five in cup competitions.
Cassidy is still in the market for another striker and a midfielder, though he is prepared to be patient until the right man becomes available.
“Everyone is looking for that 6ft 2 striker who is good in the air,” added the manager. Wright, Craig Johnston and Tony Hopper are the latest Reds aces to agree to return next term.
