SIGNING: Attacker Amantchi arrives
We are delighted to announce the signing of highly-rated attacker Levi Amantchi on a short-term basis.
Amantchi was at Borough Park on Saturday to enjoy our 5-2 win over City of Liverpool and complete his move.
The 19-year-old joins following his release from Chesterfield this summer, where he made 11 National League appearances in the 2018/19 season and made his debut for the Spireites at 17.
During that campaign, where he also featured three times in the FA Cup, he had a productive spell at Mickleover Sports.
At the start of last term, North-East-based Amantchi went on loan to National League North side Blyth Spartans until January.
The product of popular youth club Wallsend Boys scored twice in 16 appearances and gained cult hero status for his vital goal against local rivals Gateshead.
What a way to sign off your loan spell, @Leviamantchi 😅#HowayBlyth https://t.co/L2OmvPmUSY pic.twitter.com/UfnIi6eLfF

Last month, the then free agent scored as a trialist for Middlesbrough U23s in a 2-2 draw against Newcastle United in the Premier League 2.
Amantchi goes straight into the matchday squad for our game at Colne tomorrow evening.
Welcome, Levi!
