Former Manchester City and Burnley youth striker signs for Buxton
Former Manchester City and Burnley youth Jason Gilchrist has joined Buxton FC from York City.
Proven goal-scorer Gilchrist (26) made an appearance for England C three years ago and has played in the Football League for Accrington Stanley.
Bucks boss Steve Cunningham said he was delighted to have landed his top target.
"It is great to have Gilly join us here at the Tarmac Silverlands,” he said. “We've watched and admired him for quite some time and he'll give us something extra at the top of the pitch.
"He's been our number one target and thanks go to the chairman and board for their support in making the move happen."
