Speaking on the signing, manager Scott Lindsey said: “Klaidi is a player that we have identified from non-league who had an impressive season during 22/23. He is a very exciting player that can play up front or just behind in the number ten role. He has great goalscoring

abilities and can glide past players. He has good experience in the EFL with Plymouth Argyle, and we are very pleased to have him with us.”
