Kear Becomes Latest To Join From Hinckley

Carl Adams has moved to strengthen his squad with the signing of 20-year-old right-sided player Drew Kear.

Kear joins fellow young defender Ben Whitehead in joining Rugby from Hinckley along with the returning Matt Hill and Charlie Evans who were both with Hinckley last season too.

Drew has featured in both of Valley's friendlies so far against FC Stratford and Romulus playing mainly from a right wing position.

The right back, who can also operate further forward, had a successful first season in senior football with Hinckley as they finished runners-up in the UCL Division One in 2021/22.

Kear started out with the Strachan Football Foundation before moving to Hinckley.
