The winger has put pen to paper on an initial one-year deal at the Crown Oil Arena.<\/p>\n
Silcott-Duberry, who featured in our pre-season friendly against Farnham Town on Saturday, is excited to be with us.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a pleasure to be here,\u201d he commented.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me, I felt the trust from the gaffer, and I instantly wanted to be a part of this.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Club feels very positive, and it gives me a feeling that we\u2019re going to do good things together.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully there\u2019s a lot to come from me and the Club itself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Head Coach Ian Watson added:<\/p>\n
\u201cZain has really impressed me since coming in with us.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis attitude in training has been really good, and I thought he lit Saturday\u2019s game up when he was subbed on.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s an exciting player, and we\u2019re ready to push and drive him to get to where he wants to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
Silcott-Duberry was part of the Norwich City Academy as a youngster, before joining Chelsea at the age of 12.<\/p>\n
Whilst with the two-time Champions League winners, he represented England at Under-15, 16 and 17 level, signing his first professional contract in 2022.<\/p>\n
A move to Bournemouth followed in January 2025, making his Premier League debut as a late substitute in a 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest a week after joining.<\/p>\n
Last season saw Silcott-Duberry make the move abroad to Olympiacos B in Greek Super League 2, before he returned to England with Championship side Sheffield Wednesday in February.<\/p>\n
He departed Hillsborough in the summer and has trained with Dale since our return from Spain last week, making an impression as a half-time substitute against Farnham at the weekend.<\/p>\n
