Having been granted a work permit for Calvin, the 6ft 3 striker joined the Alex in the summer of 2008 from North West rivals Tranmere Rovers in a £200,000 transfer fee.
It was Bobby Robson that first gave him his chance in English football at Newcastle United after spotting him playing whilst Calvin was here studying Business. From there he spent time on loan with Oldham where he made 25 appearances for the Latics.
Following his release from Newcastle, he signed for Tranmere Rovers where he scored 24 goals in his first season. In total he scored 16 goals in 55 League starts as well as making 41 substitute appearances for Ronnie Moore's side.
After being granted a work permit, Steve Holland finally landed his man in June 2008 and in his home debut in pre-season against Hull City netted a hat-trick, his first two goals coming in the first three minutes of the game.Season 2008 - 09
