IT’S a case of AFC signing for WFC!
That’s versatile defender Aidan Francis-Clarke joining Wealdstone Football Club, the Stones are pleased to confirm.
The Luton Town academy graduate has penned a permanent contract at The Vale, bringing with him 18 months’ worth of Enterprise National League experiences.
After loan spells away from Kenilworth Road at St Albans City and then Dagenham & Redbridge, centre-back Francis-Clarke signed for Braintree Town in January 2025 – quickly turning the deal permanent a month later.
“We’ve been impressed with Aidan; his attitude, his energy and the way he’s fitted in around the other players,” said Gary Waddock, Wealdstone boss, of the positive impact Francis-Clarke has had during pre-season training sessions.
“He’s played recently as a trialist for us and impressed with his strength and pace.
“It’s an area of the field we were looking to bolster and we believe Aidan gives us a great option in there.”
With over 60 appearances for The Iron under his belt, the 22-year-old is well-versed in fifth-tier football as he now relishes a fresh challenge with the Stones.
Welcome to Wealdstone, Aidan!
