Please note the fixture away at Bradford Park Avenue which was due to take place on Monday 16th October has now been brought forward to Saturday 14th October with a 3pm kick off

Nick Spooner has added to his striking options by signing Nyal Bell. Bell was a key component in helping former manager, Jim Gannon, secure Stockport County’s return to the National League and at 26 still has a lot to offer.  Bell has had loan spells at Kidderminster, Gateshead and Altrincham in the past and is working his way back from a serious injury suffered at Southport last season.  He will be a boost to the forward line for Tigers and goes into the squad to face Atherton Collieries

After beating South Liverpool, in the last round of the FA Youth Cup, our young Tigers will face Curzon Ashton at the Project Solar Stadium in the Second Qualifying Round.  The match will take place on Friday 6th October with a 7:45pm kick off.

Ticket prices are:-

Adults £5

Under 16’s £2

Due to us playing Marine in the FA Cup this Saturday the scheduled league game at Atherton Collieries, which was due to take place on Saturday, will now take place on Tuesday 3rd October.

Should the game with Marine end in a draw on Saturday then we will travel to Merseyside for a replay on that evening instead.

Ahead of tonight’s FA Youth Cup Tie, we are delighted to announce that one of the members of that squad has been offered a first team contract by manager Nick Spooner.  Reece Mellor who only signed on to the first team two weeks ago has impressed the management that much that he has now been offered a deal.

Reece came through our junior system and is now part of our academy and will be hoping to help his side progress in the FA Youth Cup.

Manager Nick Spooner said ”We have seen our relationship with the academy grow, we recently offered three of the lads from the academy non-contract terms but I’m delighted to say one of those, Reece Mellor, has been offered a first team contract, I’ve been impressed with Reece he’s been in and around the first team training and the way he’s gone about it he deserves this deal.”

Come and see the lads in Youth Cup Action tonight as they take on South Liverpool Kick off 7:45pm.

Prices are as follows:-

Adults £4

Under 16’s £1

You many have seen Jack Foster’s name on the teamsheet the last few weeks, Jack has been with the first team during pre-season and has been on the bench for majority of games, Jack is also part of our academy and is now a major part of the first team squad.

The Tigers have signed striker Jimiel Chikukwa on a month’s loan from National League side FC Halifax Town.

Jimiel has come through the academy at Leeds and most recently Watford and had a loan spell at Maidstone United last season.

The 20 year old joined the Shaymen in the summer and has made one sub appearance so far in the 1-1 draw with Southend.

Jimiel is available for selection for Saturday’s game at home to Basford.

We have been drawn at home to either Spennymoor Town or Marine.  The two teams meet in a replay tomorrow evening 19th September.

Spennymoor are currently fourth in the National League North whereas Marine currently lie in fifth position in our division.

The tie will take place on Saturday 30th September.

We are delighted that Reece Mellor, Alex Pritchard and Joe Hatch have all signed first team forms.  The trio are part of the Hyde United academy and were integral in last week’s win over Marine in the FA Youth Cup.

Manager Nick Spooner said, ”In signing these three lads, it shows the pathway from the juniors through to the first team. The club has worked hard over the last few years to establish the pathway and this is great example to all that hard work pays.

I came to watch the FA Youth cup last week and was very impressed with the whole team. 3 lads in particular really impressed so i invited them in to train with us this week. Reece, Alex & Joe all looked at home with us and really impressed during both sessions.

Reece & Alex have come through the junior system with Joe entering the club via the academy. Seeing both Reece & Alex’s journey starting at the juniors gives us great pleasure as this shows what hard work can help you achieve. A great message for all the junior & academy members of the club and a great showcase of the pathway that has been created at the club from U6 through to first team.”

Academy Manager Pete Boyle said ” I’m so proud of the lads for impressing enough to be signed. Everyone has worked so hard behind the scenes and I’m sure all 3 players will go on to achieve great things in football. No doubt there will be more of their u18 team mates joining them very soon too.

Thanks to the gaffer, Coyney and Shawsy for ensuring the pathway from academy to first team is so secure and giving us all the opportunities to progress.”
