We are delighted to announce that Tom Pratt has re-signed for the club.
After two season away with spells at Guiseley and Nantwich Town, the forward will be looking to add to his 62 goals in 223 appearances from his first spell.
Manager Nick Spooner said ”Pratty has been away for a couple of season but has always spoken about wanting to come back and it’s a deal that suits all parties”
Harry Ditchfield has commited to staying another year at the Project Solar Stadium
Despite offers from other clubs the Hattersley born defender has signed on for another season.
Ditchfield will continue adding to his 172 appearances and 8 goals since signing in October 2021 and is the current longest serving player at the club.
Manager Nick Spooner said ”I’m really pleased Ditch is staying, Ditch is a local lad and is loyal as we know and we know their is still lots more to come from him.”
Nick Spooner has made his first signing of the summer bringing in experienced goalkeeper Yusuf Mersin
Mersin started his career at Millwall before moving to Liverpool. Mersin has played at the likes of Crawley, Dartford and Maidstone. The 30 year old has also represented Turkey at youth team level. After leaving Mickleover in the summer he has now joined the Tigers for the coming season
Nick Spooner on his new recruit:-
‘’Yusuf is an experienced goalkeeper, he has lots of experience in the National League and it’s what we need as we have had a lot of loans or young keepers, like Callum last season, so we look forward to working with him.’’
Nick Spooner has signed a new one year contract to stay at the club. This will be Nick’s fourth full season in charge and he explained his decision to stay at the club.
’It’s all about stability for me, I had players asking for commitment, so I committed as well.
It was a very easy decision, it makes it easier for me to talk to players, both ones we want to stay and ones who we want to sign.
