Peterborough United has signed forward Christopher Conn-Clarke from National League side Altrincham for an undisclosed fee. The 22-year-old Northern Irishman had an impressive season scoring 22 goals in 47 appearances, which caught the attention of the Peterborough United manager Darren Ferguson.
Conn-Clarke started his career with Glentoran and had stints with Burnley and Fleetwood before joining Altrincham last summer. He expressed his excitement about joining Peterborough United, highlighting the club’s track record of developing young players. Conn-Clarke spoke about how the manager presented a vision for his role in the team, which he found appealing.
As he prepares for the upcoming season, Conn-Clarke is focused on setting goals for himself in terms of scoring and assisting the team. He aims to make a significant impact on the squad and hopes to entertain the fans with his performances.
Peterborough United’s signing of Conn-Clarke marks their second addition of the summer, with Abraham Odoh also joining from Harrogate. Under Ferguson, the club has made it to the League One play-offs in the last two seasons but fell short against Sheffield Wednesday and Oxford United. Ferguson believes that Conn-Clarke has the potential to excel at the League One level and expects him to be a valuable asset to the team.
With this signing, Peterborough United continues to strengthen its squad as they aim to reach new heights next season.
