‘Fits the profile perfectly’ – Many Lincoln City fans react as they secure transfer agreement

Lincoln City have confirmed the signing of former Bristol City winger Hakeeb Adelakun.

The 25-year-old, who has joined on what The Imps have stated is a long-term contract, was made a free agent in June following his release at Bristol City.

Despite his age, Adelakun has over 200 appearances to his name, with the vast majority of them coming in League One.

The winger spent three years at Ashton Gate before his departure in June but spent the first half of the season with Hull City. In 11 starts for The Tigers, Adelakun netted three times and provided a further assist.

Adelakun was recalled back to Dean Holden’s squad in early January but only proceeded to make two league appearances in what remained of the season.
