Hyde United have confirmed the signing of talented midfielder Jake Dunwoody.
The 27-year-old spent his early years with Manchester City’s academy, before joining Stoke City aged 16, making over 50 appearances for their Under 23 side between 2016 and 2020.
The Glossop born playmaker also had a short loan spell with Curzon Ashton in 2018, where he made 16 appearances.
The former Northern Ireland Under 21 international then made a handful of appearances for Derry City before a move to the Finnish top flight.
He has spent the past four years playing in Finland, making just short of 100 appearances for IFK Helsingfors, SJK Sejnajoki and most recently AC Oula.
Dunwoody made his Tigers debut over the weekend, coming on as a substitute in a 1-0 win over Matlock Town in the FA Cup Third Qualifying Round.
While United’s trip to Elland Road went better than many expected, it wasn’t quite the emphatic response Michael Carrick would have been hoping for after a tumultuous week.
There is no denying that Manchester City have made a pretty special start to life under Enzo Maresca, with Saturday’s victory over Ipswich Town taking us to seven wins from seven in the Premier League and putting the Italian into the history books.
