NEW SIGNING: Shots Sign Aouachria!

We are delighted to announce that Charlton Athletic forward Wassim Aouachria has signed for the club on loan on an initial three-month loan!

Aouachria, who is a striker by trade, joins the club from EFL League One side Charlton Athletic and will be looking to add attacking threat to Danny Searle’s side ahead of our next game in the 2021/22 Vanarama National League season.

Born in Roubaix, Northern France, the striker played for his local club Aubagne from the age of six. Since then the forward was scouted by Ligue 1 side Marseille, who signed him at Under 14’s level in 2013.

However, Aouachria moved over to England for a new challenge with Charlton Athletic in 2019, signing a short-term contract with their Under 23 squad impressing during this time scoring five goals in nine starts, before seeing his deal being extended shortly after joining.

The young forward will be a figure that is already well-known by Aldershot Town first-team staff members, having played in a behind-closed-doors friendly against the Shots back in May that saw Aouachria score in a 4-3 victory for the Addicks late last season too.

Our new player will wear the number 18 this season and will look to be involved in our next game in the 2021/22 Vanarama National League against Notts County away this Saturday, with tickets available now!

Welcome to Aldershot Town Wassim!
