DANNY COWLEY has described new loan star Lee Angol as being like an iPhone 7 and says Lincoln’s new loan striker is a “huge signing”.
Angol, who joins on loan from League One Peterborough until the end of the season, is no stranger to Non-League having starred for Boreham Wood in the 2014-15 campaign when he was on loan from Luton Town.
The livewire striker scored 32 goals in all competitions and also netted in the Conference South play-off final to help Wood into Non-League’s top tier.
He was duly named the Sportsbeat Young Player of the Year at our National Game Awards and his performances at Step 2 convinced Peterborough to take a chance and they signed the forward for an undisclosed fee in the summer of 2015.
Angol, 22, scored 11 times in League One last season but has netted just once in 17 appearances for the Posh this term after dealing with injury.
He joins a Lincoln side who visit Arsenal in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Saturday – although Angol is cup-tied – and who are also competing in the FA Trophy as well as at the top of the National League.
Imps boss Cowley told Lincolnshire Live: “We know Lee very well. He singled-handedly got Boreham Wood promoted and got nearly 30 goals that season.
“That allowed him to get the move to Peterborough and in his first season in League One he was their top scorer.
“He’s like an iPhone 7 because he can do a bit of everything. He’s good with his back to goal, he can hold the ball up and he has got a great touch.
“He’s got two good feet and has the pace to go and run the channels. He’s one of those boys who is blessed with a bit of everything. He’s a great addition to our squad and is a huge signing.”
