Parking advice from Congleton Town

Ahead of our FA Trophy game away to Congleton Town this Saturday, we have had this advise from Congleton Town with regards parking at the ground.

We have very limited parking inside the ground and can only accommodate 2 vehicles. All other parking is street parking. We suggest Booth Street by the cricket ground or the nearest car park (less than 5 minutes walk) is West Street CW12 1JR. If you could convey that to your playing staff and travelling party (including fans) it would be helpful.”

Akeel departs

Following a seven day approach from Wakefield FC we have allowed Akeel Francis to leave the club.

Akeel made his debut, off the subs bench at home to Mickelover, but has struggled for game time since.

We wish Akeel well.

Darrin off to Abbey

Darrin Enahoro-Marcus has joined Abbey Hey on dual registration.

Manager Nick Spooner said “We think a lot of Darrin but he’s not really played any mens football yet, so with the North West Counties League starting this weekend we feel him joining him Abbey Hey will benefit us as it will get him vital experience.”

 

Drew puts pen to paper

Nick Spooner has added defensive reinforcements in Drew Baker

Drew started his youth career in the Academy at Manchester City where he played for ten years from the under-4 to under-14 level, winning the Premier League Championship three times He subsequently spent two years in the youth team at Crewe Alexandra before signing a two-year scholarship at Oldham Athletic]

He dropped down to Non-League when he signed for FC United for the 2021–22 campaign.

In 2022, he signed for Fleetwood Town and has since had spells in Ireland at Bohemians and Waterford and last season at Macclesfield.

Drew impressed in the game against Mossley and has since been offered a deal.

 

Another one added

Jake Maltby has been added to the squad before the start of the season.

Maltby came through the ranks at Bradford City and had a productive season at Silsden last season scoring 10 goals from 48 appearances and has impressed on trial in pre-season from defensive midfield.

Welcome Jake
