The 22-year-old striker has spent the last four years playing in America where he was prolific in front of goal for Wilmington University in Delaware having originally been with Jersey Wanderers.
Last
term, Bickley broke a long-standing scoring record when he fired over 20 goals
during their Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference campaign.
Challinor
told https://www.hartlepoolunited.co.uk:
“We’re really pleased to have Lorne here.
“Joe
Parkinson has a contact over in Jersey and Lorne was a player who had been
flagged up to us because of his performance there and when he was playing in
the States.
“We
brought him over a few weeks ago to have a look and he did well so we’ve done
something until the end of the season to give us a chance to have an extended
look and with a view to a longer deal.
“The
good thing is that we can get him registered straight away because Jersey Bulls
have been superb in the way they’ve worked with us over bringing Lorne over,
which is greatly appreciated.
“That
now gives us the opportunity to get a behind-closed-doors game organised for
him to play in and also some of the other lads in our squad who need it too.
“It’s
a positive addition to the squad in a forward area and it’s an opportunity for
him to see how he enjoys it here and for us to have a look but, certainly from
what we’ve seen so far, there is a lot of potential”. |
