Aaron Amadi-Holloway will be a different proposition in more ways than one in the upcoming season, according to two people who are keen to see the striker build on a promising first year at Adams Park.

Few that saw the burly frontman play last term doubted his skill and ability to be a force in League Two, although his chances of a prolonged run in the Wycombe team were restricted by nagging injuries and a resultant lack of match fitness, meaning he made the majority of his 31 appearances from the bench.

Of his 12 starts, seven came in the final ten matches, including the club’s play-off campaign – a spell which bore three goals and marked him out as a man who could be a key component for Blues this season.

The 22-year-old played a full part in only four matches in the last campaign, although the man who bought him to the club last August, Gareth Ainsworth, is optimistic of seeing more of the striker this season.

He said: “The big bonus for Aaron is that he’s done every session this pre-season. Last pre-season he missed a lot through his injuries and last season was about getting Aaron fit.

“He’s a big guy and it takes him that little bit longer to get his fitness, but he’s a weapon up front. He’s something different, he’s a pain for defenders, wins things he has no right to win and he goes on these mazy runs and slips people in.

“Aaron Holloway is a big part of the squad and I’ve got some good forwards with him.”

Chairboys fans will hope to see more of the forward in a Wycombe shirt over the course of the season, and if they do they’ll notice the former Bristol City man carrying the name ‘Amadi-Holloway’ on the back of it.

The striker requested the change but Wycombe captain Paul Hayes believes it won’t be the biggest alteration the Welshman makes if he applies himself this season.

“For us players, for the staff and for the club, for Aaron himself, he owes it to himself to push on,” said the Wanderers skipper.

“He’s of a good age now where he needs to grab the bull by the horns. He’s blessed with everything that a professional could want. He’s got strength, a good touch and he can score goals.

“He could have a really good career in the game and earn some great money, but it’s up to Aaron to decide that.

“He won’t have a better coaching staff around him that’s going to want him to do well, thrive and be the best he can. He’s a lovely lad and I’m hoping this season could be the one for him.”
