Forest Green have agreed a six-figure fee for free-scoring AFC Fylde midfielder Nick Haughton, according to leading transfer correspondent Peter O’Rourke (@footyinsider247).
Haughton,30, has been linked with a move away from Fylde following their relegation back to the National League North at the end of last season.
The attacking-midfielder has a superb record since first signing for Fylde in 2018, scoring 118 goals in 281 games. He previously played for Fleetwood, Salford and Chorley.
He was included in the National League Team of the Season last season despite the Coasters’ relegation. Haughton numbered 31 goal contributions, meaning he was involved in 60% of the Coasters league goals last season.
His arrival marks Forest Green’s eleventh signing of the summer as they continue a major pre-season overhaul under new boss Savage and director of football Mark Bowen, ahead of their season opener away at Solihull on Saturday.
