RIO ALLAN IS A SEADOG! Scarborough Athletics' first addition of the Summer is 21-year-old attacker Rio Allan. Rio arrives with a wealth of non-league experience for his age, having played for Harworth Colliery, Rainworth, Hallam and Doncaster City – where his form caught the eye after netting 20 goals in just 13 appearances. That run earned him a trial at Stoke City’s U21s, training alongside the first team. Rio is someone Manager Jono Greening has had his eye on for a while and is delighted to welcome him to the squad. Speaking on his arrival, Rio said: “I’ve only ever heard good things about the club – the environment, the people. As soon as the opportunity came up, I couldn’t say no. James Cadman told me loads about Scarborough and said I’d fit in well.” Describing his playing style, he added: “I’m a direct attacking player – I like to take people on, score goals and create chances. I love the pressure in front of goal. One-on-ones, penalties – I enjoy those moments.” Welcome to the club, Rio!
