England C Starlet Kurt Is AFC Fylde’s Latest New Arrival

The 21-year-old striker has left FC United of Manchester to step up to the National League.

He scored 19 goals in the National League North, despite the Red Rebels relegation.

Manager Dave Challinor was thrilled to get his man.

“Kurt’s scored lots of goals at a lower level – he’s not a risk, but he’s certainly a project for us,” Challinor said on the club’s website.

“He’s coming up a division and back into full-time football, so there are lots of challenges.”

“As a local lad it’s a good move for him, and really there’s no-one better to learn off than ultimately the best goalscorer at this level in Danny Rowe.”

“He’ll look to stretch the game and run in behind, and expand the game, as will other new signings we’ve made.

“This will only help the likes of Rowey, but also help how effective we are on the counter-attack, which is crucial.”
