Joins from Salford on a season long loan. Their second top scorer last season with 12 goals. Finally a striker!
Jonno: "Anthony’s goals to starts ratio is as good as anyone's and he scored some massive goals last season."

Great bit of business for us, especially with him being a striker. He’s a bright young talent who will hopefully have a good spell with us, after having successful loan stays at Guiseley and Macclesfield Town. Welcome to Chester FC Anthony! 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️

Salford aren't daft either. He's 21 and they know he'll play every game for us, considering if he scores 20 goals next season he'd be hot property and a likely transfer target from numerous clubs when he'd only be 22 next year, they'd probably whack him a new contract in January and cash in on him next Summer. All ifs and buts of course, he could well bang 20 but likewise he could struggle, he scores goals though.

From what I know DUDLEY has rejected two contract offers from Salford as they were desperate to keep him but he rejected not as he was worried about playing time, as such they wanted him out and he’s signed for Chester until his deal runs out at Salford. No recall and can play in all cup games, don’t think Mr Neville was very happy with him. There’s no way he would play over Adam Rooney regardless.

Jonno in the q&a session tonight said basically what Ian posted above. Salford are paying a chunk of their wages. So must have wanted their unhappy players way from their squad. Looks like a couple of good signings for us.

Firstly, he had a year of his contract to go so how could he reject two offers. You sat they were 'desperate to keep him' than say 'they wanted him out'. Maybe it's me being thick.

Thanks for the info Ian. Good to read that he's a young and clearly ambitious lad who just wants to get his head down and play games. He could easily have chosen what would have been an increased contract. Also good on the class of 92 for subsidising our promotion push. ha

Was stated by Ron and Reg at the meeting last night that Dudley and Livesey were loans only in name, and that they were Chester players. They will only train with Chester, are here all season, are available for all County/FA/League etc cups (even if we draw Salford), are non-recallable, and will look to earn a new deal at the end of 2019 at the club.
That they are officially on loans means that Salford are paying "a significant chunk" of their salaries.
Was very impressed by the management last night. Loved their tempered enthusiasm, their obvious steely determination to succeed, and their straightness. Also loved the fact that Jonno had a pint of San Miguel after training.
Steve Howson had me at "this is the biggest club I've ever played at. The history, the fanbase, the set up. I cannot wait to get started". I'm now officially his. He is the new Stuart Hicks.
