BREAKING NEWS – LOK SIGNS FOR ANTS!!!

The club are delighted to announce the signing of Ethiopian Internationalist Ramkel Lok Dong from Ethiopian side St. Georges in a £1000 deal. Ramkel, a right winger, has already represented his country at international level in a 3-1 defeat to Algeria back in November 2014. Ants manager James McKenna spoke exclusively to the Ants website “Ramkel is someone we have had on the radar for a while. I saw him whilst on holiday and was impressed with his overall skill. He is a big presence and it will take a lot for teams to keep his gas at a peep as we fight relegation”.

Ramkel can't wait to get started at McKenna Park
