Liburd Makes His Lions Move A Permanent One

By Steve Whitney

Guiseley AFC announced the permanent signing of striker Rowan Liburd ahead of Saturday`s draw with Aldershot Town.

The 25-year-old joined on loan from Stevenage in October making his debut against Solihull Moors.

In that time, he has scored 4 goals in seven appearances.

Linked with Chelsea in his youth, Croydon-born Liburd spent four years in the United States at Thomas University in Thomasville, Georgia, on a football Scholarship and won several awards including the Sun Conference player of the year.

On returning to the UK in 2014, Liburd signed for Billericay Town and then in July 2015 he signed a two-year contract with Reading.

The front man joined Wycombe Wanderers in March 2016 on an initial one-month loan deal and his loan was then extended until the end of the season.

Liburd then moved on to Stevenage in July 2016, for an undisclosed fee, and was loaned out to Leyton Orient in January 2017 until the end of the season.

At the start of the current season Liburd joined National League South outfit Hemel Hempstead Town on loan.
