FC Halifax Town are delighted to confirm the signing of forward Zak Emmerson from League One side Blackpool.
Emmerson began his career in the Oldham Athletic academy and made his senior debut against Walsall in October 2019, making him the second youngest player to play in the EFL behind former Shayman Reuben Noble-Lazarus. In July 2020, the forward signed for Brighton & Hove Albion’s development squad for an undisclosed fee. During his time with the Seagulls, Emmerson made two appearances for the England Under 18 squad, his debut coming in a 1-1 draw with Wales.
In his final season with Brighton, Emmerson netted 20 goals in 26 appearances for the development squad, before then Championship side Blackpool brought him to Bloomfield Road for an undisclosed fee. Last season, the forward spent time on loan at National League South side Eastbourne Borough where he netted five times in 11 league appearances as the Sports finished 19th.
