Boston United have completed the permanent signing of striker Jordy Hiwula, who joins on a one-year deal at the Jakemans Community Stadium.

The 30-year-old forward last played competitively for Morecambe in April 2024.

He has featured for Coventry City, Bradford City, Fleetwood Town, Doncaster Rovers and several other EFL clubs, amassing over 250 appearances in the English football league.

The new signing featured – and scored – as ‘Trialist D’ in a friendly this month against Championship side Sheffield United and will wear the number 16 shirt for the Pilgrims.

Hiwula is eligible to make his debut in the National League Cup tonight, when the Pilgrims face reigning champions Leeds United U21s after defeating Middlesbrough U21s 2-1 on Saturday.

With Boston unable to begin their National League campaign due to Morecambe’s suspension, goals from former York City striker Lennell John-Lewis and Kieren Donnelly proved enough to see off Boro’s youngsters at home.

Tonight’s cup schedule sees Aldershot Town, Boreham Wood, Braintree Town, Scunthorpe United, Solihull Moors, Sutton United, Wealdstone and Brackley Town all in action.

Elsewhere, Altrincham co-chairman Bill Waterson has stepped down from his role with immediate effect, citing “personal and health reasons”.

A lifelong supporter, Waterson has been a key figure behind the club’s transition to full-time football and community engagement.

He served as chairman until July, when Mark Luby took over following a board restructure.
