Two in and One out

 

Nick Spooner has strengthened his attacking options by adding Will Russ and Donay O’Brien-Brady on loan from Fleetwood Town and Huddersfield Town.

Will Russ is no stranger to this division having had loan spells at both FC United and South Shields this season.

Donay is only 18 years old and is an exciting winger who the academy at Huddersfield have high hopes for.

Leaving us is Eddie Brown who has signed for former club Wythenshawe Amateurs on Dual Registration.  Eddie has scored four goals in 25 appearances and Nick Spooner hopes the spell away will help his confidence.

Two new faces added

Nick Spooner has added two new faces to the playing squad in the form of Rio McEvoy and Alex Perry.

Rio is a forward who came through the youth ranks at Cherry Orchard in Ireland, before having spells at Blackburn and Manchester United before having a successful period at Bolton Wanderers in the Under 18’s squad.  He has also won one cap for Republic of Ireland at Under 18 level.

Alex is another name familiar to Nick Spooner as the midfielder came through Bolton’s academy and made his debut for the team in 2016 when he started in a 2-0 home loss against Everton in the EFL trophy 

After leaving Bolton he joined neighbours Wigan Athletic, where he made 20 appearances in League One before joining Scunthorpe United last season, where he made 17 appearances, but the 24-year-old couldn’t prevent them from slipping out of the Football League.

We can confirm Adam Dawson has joined divisional rivals Nantwich Town after an approach by them. Adam played 26 times this season scoring two goals and contributing towards our current success so far this season.

He also contributed off the pitch by regularly attending the holiday camps and teaching the kids some new tricks and flicks.

We wish him well at The Dabbers.

The Away end will have full teabar and toilet facilities, plus a licenced bar that allows supporters to enjoy a drink in view of the match.
There will be a reasonable level of stewarding and there will be a large sterile area at the corner end of the shed which will mean supporters don’t cross.
