Signed from Rochdale at the beginning of March for £35,000, Connor scored 5 goals at the end of last season and has impressed in that short time. Looks to have two good feet and is good in the air, hopefully he and Trundle/Thomas will form a good partnership.

Fan's Views -

"Came here a bit of an unknown, and with Rochdale fans saying how he can't find the net, but has showed everyone his ability! Been a fantastic purchase!!!"

"Good target man, hard worker, not bad finisher, looks like he will be an asset at this level"

"Good looking, great haircut and can get the ball in the back of the net!!"

"Hard worker, doesn't stop running, scores goals and forms one half of our blonde haired strike force. Can't be bad, can it? A real steal from Rochdale, in my opinion."
