AFC Telford United swoop for Guiseley's Prince Ekpolo
Paul Carden has made 'complete midfielder' Prince Ekpolo his first signing of the summer for AFC Telford.
Ekpolo, 28, has signed a one-year deal at the New Bucks Head from relegated National League North rivals Guiseley, who Telford just pipped to retain their step two status.
Nigeria-born Ekpolo was awarded Guiseley sponsors' player of the season this season. He made 40 appearances as a mainstay in the heart of the Lions' midfield.
"From first seeing him he was a player that impressed me massively," Carden said. "His power, pace and energy combined with his ability make him as complete as a midfielder as you can have.
"When I have spoken to other managers that have all commented on how well he played against them.
"He will be a big player for us this season and I am sure he will become a firm favourite with the fans."
