Wycombe Wanderers secure League Two starlet as signing number seven is confirmed
Wycombe Wanderers have confirmed the signing of Chesterfield attacker James Berry on a permanent deal.
The 24-year-old, who began his career with Liverpool and has had stints with his home town Wigan Athletic, Hull City, Altrincham and Macclesfield, arrives in Buckinghamshire for an undisclosed fee.
He scored 10 goals in 28 matches in all competitions this season and has won promotion in each of his last three campaigns.
He achieved back-to-back promotions with Non League Macclesfield before securing a third promotion last year, this time with Chesterfield.
Berry becomes Wycombe’s seventh new face this month following the arrivals of Sonny Bradley, Magnus Westergaard, Ryan Cole, Jonny Pettitt, Alex Lowry and Anders Hagelskjær respectively.
The club’s latest arrival will wear the number 38 shirt, which was last worn by goalkeeper Harvey Cartwright two years ago.
Chief Football Officer Dan Rice commented: “We’re really pleased with our business so far in this transfer window and bringing someone of James’s calibre to the club is another sign of our intent to achieve success this season and beyond.
“Having made reinforcements in defence and midfield already this window, we identified a need to bring in another attacker out wide and James fits the model with the way he plays and the goal threat he brings.
“Our work continues around the clock as we look to strengthen the squad and recruit the right person to lead the team forward as head coach.
“In the meantime, we’re delighted to welcome James into the squad and continue our preparations for Saturday’s game with Sam Grace in interim charge.”
