AFC Telford United have moved quickly to replace outgoing top scorer Montel Gibson by snapping up striker Dior Angus.
The 30-year-old spent last season at Altrincham in the National League – scoring four goals in 35 league appearances – but has dropped two divisions to move to Shropshire.
“Dior is one I’ve tried a few times to get in the past, but for whatever reason, he’s just been slightly out of reach, probably due to his career trajectory,” said Wilkin. “He’s done well at clubs, winning the National League at Barrow, and he’s a nice, polite, kind of down-to-earth guy; I’m delighted to be working with him.”Asked about Angus’s attributes, Wilkin added: “He wants to run in the channels, and he’s a strong, quick lad with a good eye for goal.
Coventry-born Angus has spent most of his career in the Midlands – at Solihull Moors, Kidderminster Harriers and Port Vale, among others – but was also in the EFL as recently as 2022 with Harrogate Town, before moving to Altrincham in the summer on 2023. And Angus, who also counts Wrexham among his former clubs, is hoping to lift more silverware this season.
