Niasse, 33, has had several spells across English football throughout his 15-year career but he is now shaking things up in the Northern Premier League.

Last month Robbie Savage’s side confirmed the striker’s arrival at the Leasing.com Stadium by announcing he has signed a short deal subject to league approval.

On Tuesday in their clash against Tranmere in the Chesire Senior Cup Niasse made his debut alongside ex-Leicester City star Danny Simpson.

He then impressed fans as he scored a hat-trick in their 4-2 victory with some sharing their amazement on social media.
