Loan star earns permanent deal

18 Jan 2018 By David Watters

Stopper Ed Wilczynski has signed for Shaw Lane on a permanent basis after impressing Ducks boss Paul Quinn in the EVO-STIK League.

The 21-year-old, pictured, signed on Thursday from Darlington for an undisclosed fee after initially arriving at Sheerien Park in December on a month's loan from the National League North's Quakers.

The Yorkshire-born keeper of Polish and Irish ancestry kicked off his career as a youngster at Huddersfield Town, working his way up through the Premier League club's age groups to U21 level before being released in the summer of 2016.

Wilczynski, who joined the Quakers from Northern League First Division outfit Bishop Auckland in the middle of last season and made a dozen appearances, has also enjoyed loan spells at Trafford, FC United of Manchester and AFC Fylde.

Quinn said: "Ed has impressed since coming to Shaw Lane, both in terms of his on field performances and his professionalism off the field. We are delighted to have secured Ed on a permanent transfer."
