Speaking on behalf of the whole board, Martyn O’Hara said: “This is a record transfer fee paid by Southport FC, and reaffirms our intent and ambition for the football club. Jason is a proven goalscorer at this level and we are delighted to have secured his signature.
“We have been working very hard with the football management team to strengthen the squad, and will be making further announcements in the coming weeks.”
“We were very close to adding two more new faces ahead of todays game, but are hopeful of completing those signings early next week.”
“As a Board, our intention is to provide Southport with a football team and club to be proud of, and also which is capable of meeting our aspirations of once again gracing the EFL.”
Kevin Davies said: “He’s had a good season so far. He adds goals and quality. We’ve been chasing him for a while now and we’re delighted he’s made the move to come and join us. It’s a big signing for the club”
