Gambian
striker Seedy Njie has joined Histon FC on a month-long loan deal from Southend
United, this blog can
reveal.
The 19-year-old, who joined the English Conference North [sixth-tier]
side on an initial month’s loan, went straight into coach Brian Page’s squad
for Saturday’s 4-4 draw away to leaders North Ferriby United.
Page was pleased to complete the deal, saying: “Seedy [Njie]
is a powerful and intelligent striker and I’ve been monitoring him for a while.
He comes highly recommended and I look forward to him helping the squad
continue to progress.”
“He had a magnificent game,” the Histon boss said of Njie’s
performance after his side’s 4-4 draw with North Ferriby United.
“I’ve known about him for a while. Like our other loanees, I
think we can really help him develop and improve his game,” Page added.
Njie, born in Catford, Lewisham, to Gambian parents, signed
a pro deal with League Two side Southend last summer following the completion
of his two-year scholarship with the Shrimpers.
He has some previous experience in the Conference North from
a loan spell with Bishop’s Stortford last season where he started twice and
made four further appearances from the bench, scoring twice.
