Carlisle United Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of forward Dan Adu-Adjei on a season-long loan from Bournemouth.
Adu-Adjei, 19, joined Bournemouth in 2021 from Fulham. He made his professional debut for Bournemouth in the FA Cup last season, in a 3-2 victory over QPR. He also spent four years in Brentford’s academy as a youngster.
He scored 25 goals during the 2021/22 campaign for Bournemouth’s under-18 side and scored another 25 goals for the Cherries’ development side last season before joining Leyton Orient on loan.
He made 11 appearances and scored one goal for the O’s last season.
Manager Paul Simpson said: “He’ll bring something totally different to the forward options we’ve got at the club. He’s prolific in development football, he’s got a great goalscoring record.
“It isn’t his first loan move, so he’ll have an idea of what to expect. He had a loan to Leyton Orient for the second half of last season where he’ll probably admit he didn’t play as many minutes as he would have wanted. I’m hoping he’s learned a lot from working with Richie [Wellens] at Leyton Orient.
“He’s just had a fantastic trip to LA with Bournemouth’s first-team which is why we’ve had to wait to get him in with us. I’m really pleased he’s with us and I think he’ll be a great addition to the group.”
Dan will wear squad number 14 during his loan spell at Brunton Park.
