Dave Deacon Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Another former Exeter City player - Les Afful from Conference side Forest Green Rovers A 5ft 6ins 25-year-old forward from Liverpool who made 78 appearances for Exeter City between 2001-06 as well five appearances on loan at Torquay United. In February this year he tore his posterior cruciate ligament and missed the rest of the season following an operation. When back fit he became a free agent. It's also hopeful a couple more signings will be announced shortly. It's also confirmed that all of the contracted players had agreed to stay with City as they target a fifth successive promotion. Les Afful From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Personal information Full name Leslie Samuel Afful Date of birth February 4, 1984 (1984-02-04) (age 25) Place of birth Liverpool, England Height 5 ft 6 in Playing position Winger Leslie Samuel "Les" Afful (born February 4, 1984 in Liverpool, England) is an English footballer currently with Conference National side Forest Green Rovers. He is Caribbean Descent. Afful was born in Liverpool and joined Exeter City as a trainee after playing for a Merseyside youth team in Toxteth, after being brought to Exeter for a friendly by former Birmingham City and Liverpool player Howard Gayle. He made his first team debut on November 17, 2001 in a 3-0 home FA Cup victory against non-league Cambridge City, prior to turning professional in April 2002. His league debut came later that season, on April 13 in a 0-0 draw away to Leyton Orient. He played once more that season, but failed to make any first team appearances the following season as Exeter were relegated out of the Football League and into the Nationwide Conference. He played fairly regularly in Exeter's first two seasons in the Conference, but was out of favour by the time he joined local rivals Torquay United on loan in January 2006. He played five times for Torquay as they successfully battled against relegation to the Conference, but was not offered a permanent deal by either Exeter or Torquay at the end of the season, joining Forest Green Rovers. He made a successful start to his career with Forest Green and in November 2006 was called up to the England National Game XI squad for the European Trophy decider against Holland.[1] In February 2009 Afful picked up a serious knee injury which required an operation which ruled him out for the rest of the campaign. He tore his posterior cruciate ligament when he twisted his knee in a 2-2 home draw with Histon F.C..

Mike Odgers Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Could the next signing be (Brazilian) Santos Gaia? A former Exter City 6' defender now at Crawley Town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOUNTAINEER Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Let's hope he's NOT Awful. Aquarians usually do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOUNTAINEER Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 The signing of Les Afful looks good for City, welcome Les and good luck. With Brazilian Santos Gaia in the viewfinder, no work permit required (his wife is Spanish) City are going in big time. With more signings expected City are about to put the cat amongst the pigeons. Not long ago we wouldn't have thought about a Cornish football club getting involved with Agents and Work Permits, these things are part and parcel of the world City will now be playing. Interesting times ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Man on the Post Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Could the next signing be (Brazilian) Santos Gaia? If it's true he should fit in nicely, because watching Truro City is just like watching Brazil! :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Reginald Perrin Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Aquarians usually do well. WTF? Pink tents and Brighton beach spring to mind Could the next signing be (Brazilian) Santos Gaia? If it's true he should fit in nicely, because watching Truro City is just like watching Brazil! Please tell me this is not a serious comment? What a joke. Truro are good for a Cornish team but to say that is laughable :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
