Oldham Athletic have confirmed that they have signed striker Danny Rowe<\/a> from AFC Fylde on an 18-month contract.<\/p>\n

Oldham Atheltic Sign Striker Danny Rowe<\/h2>\n

Prolific Striker in Non-League<\/h3>\n

Rowe is renowned for his goal-scoring abilities in non-league, and has finally made the step up to the Football League.<\/p>\n

Last season saw the 29-year-old score an impressive 27 goals in 45 appearances as Fylde finished fifth in the Vanarama National League.<\/p>\n

However, that was not Rowe’s most prolific season during his time with the club. He scored 47 goals as Fylde won the 2016\/17 National League North.<\/p>\n

In total, Rowe registered 192 goals in 293 games.<\/p>\n

What Was Said<\/h3>\n

David Haythornthwaite, chairman of AFC Fylde, acknowledged the forward’s contributions when speaking to the official Fylde website<\/a>: “Danny has been an amazing servant for the club and helped us get where we are today and for that we will forever be in his debt.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s common knowledge I didn\u2019t want him to go and nor did we need to sell him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, after discussing it with Jim Bentley, we agreed it would be unfair to deny him the opportunity to ply his trade at a higher level.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish him every success at his new club.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Fifth January Signing as Danny Rowe Arrives at Oldham Athletic<\/h3>\n

The arrival of Rowe at Boundary Park signals the fifth January signing for Dino Maamria.<\/p>\n

The Oldham boss has already added two strikers to his squad, with Zak Dearnley<\/a> joining on a permanent deal until the end of the season, while Emmanuel Dieseruvwe<\/a> joins on loan from Salford City.<\/p>\n

However, with Rowe’s prolific goal-scoring record, it is likely he may earn a starting spot.<\/p>\n

Maamria has also added defender Carl Piergianni<\/a> and Christian N’Guessan<\/a> to his squad, both of whom have joined on loan from Salford and Burnley<\/a> retrospectively.<\/p>\n

Oldham currently sit 18th in League Two on 28 points, and host fellow strugglers Carlisle United at Boundary Park on Saturday 18 January.<\/p>\n
