AFC Fylde have confirmed the signing of defender Adam Long on a deal until the end of the 2023/24 National League season, via a statement on the club's website.
The 23-year-old has agreed a short-term contract with the National League side, after leaving League Two side Doncaster Rovers following the conclusion of the January transfer window.
Long had been with Doncaster Rovers since July 2022 after he departed League One side Wigan Athletic, making 25 appearances for the football club, scoring once.
So far this season, Long is yet to make a first-team appearance and has joined AFC Fylde in search of regular game time at the National League side.
After putting pen-to-paper on his move to the club, Long stated...
“I’m really pleased the deal has gone through and I’m an AFC Fylde player. The club’s facilities are outstanding for this level, and the mentality around the squad is a really positive one.
“I feel I’m a player with a lot to give and I hope that the continued positivity around the football club after a good few results can continue to push us on.”
Writer's Opinion
Following Alex Whitmore's departure from the club in December, Fylde were in the market for a permanent replacement and with his EFL experience, Long will be hoping to bolster their defensive options.
Whether or not he can make the difference remains to be seen, but hopefully he can do enough to help keep the club in the National League.
