Radcliffe FC are pleased to announce the loan signing of Altrincham winger, Lucas Weaver. The 22-year-old arrives at the Neuven Stadium from the Robins until January, after leaving Bamber Bridge having temporarily spent time with the Lancashire outfit earlier this season.

Starting his senior career with Fulwood Amateurs where he netted 20 goals in his first season, Weaver joined North West Counties side Colne in 2022 and quickly established an eye-catching goal record. In his second season with the club, the forward created one of the best goalscoring stats in English football during the 2023/24 campaign by finding the back of the net 42 times in 43 appearances.

Last summer, Lucas’ performances earned him a big move to Altrincham, making a huge four-league jump to one of Step One’s high-flyers. To continue his development, Weaver linked up with Bamber Bridge for a short loan spell in which he flourished once again under a new challenge, scoring 10 goals in 11 appearances from a wide area, before leaving the Brig this week as the league’s third top goalscorer.

Lucas goes straight into contention for today’s National League North fixture against Rushall Olympic.

Welcome to the Neuven Stadium, Lucas!
