We would like to welcome our third new arrival of the close season, Kaiman Anderson, to Leamington FC.

The young striker began his career at home town club Shrewsbury Town, progressing through the ranks before signing his first professional contract in May 2015.

His first taste of Non League Football came in the National League North in a loan spell at AFC Telford United at the beginning of 2015/16 before Kaiman spent the first of two goal filled spells at Halesowen Town in the Northern Premier League (26 in 56 games), finishing the season as the Yeltz’s top scorer. He returned to the Black Country side on loan again in July 2016 before being recalled in January, finishing the season as top scorer once more.

A short loan spell in National League South with Oxford City followed before Kaiman was released by Shrewsbury at the end of the 16/17 campaign. He began the following season at Southport, and had a loan spell at Nantwich Town before signing on loan for Stourbridge towards the end of 2017.

Kaiman then signed permanently for Stourbridge the following March and remained at The War Memorial Ground for the duration of last season. Brakes fans may remember him scoring the winner in our FA Cup tie there last September.

Paul Holleran was pleased to be able to bring the 22 year old to the Phillips 66 Community Stadium, saying ‘I’m delighted that Kaiman has agreed to join us. He’s had a good season or so at Stourbridge, and having had a taste of this level of football before at Telford and Oxford City he wants to make the step up again and test himself. He’s a strong, energetic player who can operate in a couple of positions and like the other lads we have brought in, he is the right age. He is keen to make the step up and be a success at this level so he can try and get back into the professional game, which is key for us. We are looking forward to working with him.’
