The striker can keep his match fitness, according to Ashton of the Northern Premier League Premier Division. The seventh division of English football.
The manager of the Robins, Michael Clegg said on the team’s website. “It just makes sense.” “We want to contribute by keeping Erling in shape because City aren’t playing. It makes more sense than his spending six weeks playing golf.
We believe he will fit in well with our squad dynamic and will be a terrific match for us.
