Chukwu back at Grays

Grays Athletic have announced the return to the club of Anointed Chukwu. The forward played forty two times for the club last season, scoring sixteen goals- including hat tricks against Basildon United and Great Wakering Rovers- but left for the Ambers during the summer.

He was previously-briefly- with East Thurrock United, for whom he signed in September of 2020 after leaving the Salford City Academy. Sadly the pandemic got in the way.

He played for Crystal Palace Under 16's and was scouted by several Premier Division clubs, having a trial at Southampton, before moving to the club financed by a collection of Manchester United old boys. He had a loan spell with Widnes during the 2019-20 season which saw him score seven goals in fifteen Pitching In Northern League North West appearances, and also got three in seven on loan to Ramsbottom United in the same division.
