Manager Nick Spooner said ”It’s good for the football club, It’s another young lad who since I have come in have done well and it’s really exciting times for Harry and the football club.”
Nick Spooner has wasted no time in adding to his squad as he has brought in three new faces in time to face Basford today.
Defender Javid Swaby-Neavin has joined us on a month’s loan from National League side FC Halifax Town. The 20-year-old started his career at Oldham Athletic, where he had loan spells at Ashton United and Radcliffe.
He joined FC Halifax in August, initially on a short term deal but has since had that extended and has been on the bench numerous times for the Shayman this season.
Midfielder Sam Peplow has also joined the Tigers on a one month loan deal from Championship side Huddersfield Town. Sam joined Huddersfield Town from Manchester United ahead of the 2018/19 season.

The board of Hyde United are pleased to announce a new management team of Nick Spooner – manager, Martin Coyne – assistant manager, and Gavin McCann as first team coach, initially to the end of the current season. The existing backroom staff of Chris Shaw, goalkeeping coach, Nick Donnelly, strength and conditioning coach, and Lucy Graves, club physiotherapist will continue in their roles.
Nick Spooner played for Bolton Wanderers, Oldham Athletic, Charleston Battery (USA), Chester City and Leigh RMI. His league career was badly affected when he had a double leg fracture (tibia and fibula). He had a 17 year spell as a coach at Bolton, at all levels, before leaving in January 2021 and has been Head of the Foundation, Youth and Professional Development phases, as well as having stints as assistant with the first team and leading the youngest side in Bolton’s history against Coventry in the league in August 2019, alongside under-18 coach Gavin McCann.
Martin Coyne has been on the coaching staff at Hyde for some time, and has been highly instrumental in the development of the junior structure at the Club, which now comprises 34 teams of all ages. He is actively studying to gain his UEFA coaching badges, and will be mentored by Nick as he advances his managerial career aspirations. Martin is well known to the Hyde supporters, and has taken interim charge of the team on a couple of occasions, most recently in the 2-1 victory over Warrington Town last Saturday. Martin will also take charge of the team at Morpeth tomorrow.
Gavin McCann is an ex-Premier League footballer who played 312 games for Everton, Sunderland, Aston Villa and Bolton Wanderers, with one full England cap, before his career was cut short by injury. 301 of these games were in the Premier League. Most recently he was under-18 coach at Bolton. Gavin was appointed assistant manager to Scott McNiven at Hyde in the Conference in 2012, but left in November of the following season. In 2008 he launched his own football academy in Lytham St Annes, the first one on the Fylde coast, alongside current Bamber Bridge manager Jamie Milligan and John Hills.
We are delighted to announce that Bradley Roscoe has committed to the Tigers until the end of the 2022/2023 season.
Brad has been with Hyde United since the 2019 season having signed from Buxton. And now has the opportunity to add to his 68 appearances and 8 goals.
After a great deal of deliberation, the Board of Hyde United Football Club has taken the difficult decision to part company with manager Jim Gannon. Although there was an upturn in results at the end of 2021, matters have not progressed as well as was hoped since the New Year, and Hyde United finds itself amongst the clubs in danger of relegation.
The Board is sorry that things have not worked out for Jim at Hyde, and hopes that, with his significant football experience, he will be successful at another club in the future. The Board would like to thank Jim for his contribution in what has been a difficult season, and wish him well.
A further announcement about a new manager will be made at the earliest opportunity.

Hyde United are delighted to announce that Jonah Mitchell has agreed a deal until the end of the season.
The pacey Northern Irishman has made quite the impact since joining the Tigers in the summer from NIFL Championship side Queens University FC.
The 22-Year-Old who started out at Linfield before moving onto Ards has made an impressive start to life with three goals in 12 league appearances and his versatility across the front line has made him an asset to Jim Gannon’s side.
On signing his contract Mitchell said ‘’I’m really enjoying my football here at Hyde, since coming over to the area, it’s been great to join a team looking to push on. You never know what to expect coming over to a different country and some of the teams I didn’t really know about which has probably worked in my favour so you go and play free and play your own game.’’
Hyde born author, Brent Shore, will be presenting his latest novel “Twenty-six Nil” set during the formation of Hyde Football Club and the record-breaking FA Cup tie with Preston North End.
The event is FREE to attend and will be held in the Pete O’Brien Lounge this coming Friday, 3rd December, starting at 7pm. The author will have signed copies of his book to purchase and there’ll be a cash bar available.
Hyde United FC U21’s v Waterloo AFC Open Age – Manchester County Cup
Chalk and Cheese springs to mind when you analyse the performance this week compared to the previous week. With a number of key personnel returning and 2 debutants on display Hyde were completely dominate! From the very off, Hyde pressed the ball well with pace and power constantly attacked the Waterloo defence. In the seventh minute Hyde were awarded a corner which Dan Evans whipped to the back post and after a header towards goal, Will Heathcote swept home a loose ball to give Hyde a well deserved lead. This gave Hyde confidence and with debutant Brian Ly in midfield Hyde were stroking the ball around and stretching the Waterloo defence. Chance after chance came and finally following a long period of possession Brian Makela was put through to confidently finish past the Waterloo keeper. Hyde entered the half time team talk with a well deserved 2-0 lead.
Hyde made all 5 subs at half time, replacing the forward line and bringing on fresh legs in the middle of the park. The pressure didn’t let up and Hyde were soon awarded a penalty following a foul on the returning Brad Page! Brad Page got up and confidently struck home to give Hyde a 3 – 0 lead. This didn’t spell the end of the scoring and with Hyde completely dominating possession Brad Page grabbed a second before Brian Makela wrapped up the tie to give Hyde a 5 – 0 victory and a place in the next round of the cup
