Curzon Ashton sign Alex Samizadeh.

Curzon Ashton are delighted to announce the signing of striker Alex Samizadeh.

The young Iranian forward, 19, joins the Nash having left Kilmarnock in the summer after spending last season in Scotland.

Samizadeh will be a familiar face for Nash fans having played for the club’s youth team during the 2014/15 season. He also made a sole first team appearance in a pre-season friendly away at Mossley in 2015, where he found the target, before attracting the attention of professional clubs.

After impressing in his time at Curzon, Alex signed for Championship side Bolton Wanderers in 2015 and made his professional debut the following year, coming on as a substitute away at Brentford.

Alex has previous experience of the National League North, having spent two months on loan at Chorley in 2016, scoring on his debut.

On the signing of Alex, manager John Flanagan commented: “We are delighted that we have finally managed to secure the signing of Alex. It appears he’s not had much luck with his move to Kilmarnock but it’s clear that the lad is desperate to play and score goals. His energy and appetite are a breath of fresh air.

“He is different to what we have got at present. He has a very low centre of gravity, he’s tenacious and doesn’t give defenders an opportunity to relax. I’m sure once he finds some match fitness he’ll have an excellent season.”

Everyone at Curzon would like to extend a warm welcome to Alex and wish him well with his time at the Tameside Stadium!

Saw the photo of him signing and he appears to have put on loads of weight. In fact he looks a bit of a fat bastard for a football player these days.

What a fall from grace! We once saw him as a potential star at the Macron

He's certainly put on a bit of timber since he left us. I still can't believe that Agent Coyle never saw the true potential of Rodrigo Moreno. He was one that definitely got away.
