Signing for the club in March, Bermuda’s Osagi Bascome got a significant glimpse of life in the National League North at the end of last season with Darlington.
The attacking midfielder/forward has spent time in the respective academy set-ups of Aston Villa, Levante, Valencia, Bristol City and Stoke City, as well as featuring for Massanassa in Spain.
The 21-year-old was a player Darlington finance director John Woolnough, a Darlo native who joined the club in February, was well aware of, having previously lived in (and even played cricket for) Bermuda himself.
Returning fresh from the CONCACAF Gold Cup this summer, he was part of the Bermuda side that competed well in the group, defeating Nicaragua 2-0 in Harrison, New Jersey.
Bascome returns to Darlington with a new manager on board in Alun Armstrong, with hopes high for an enjoyable season.
