We have added to our ranks the signing of highly rated left back Taylor McMahon from North West Counties side Irlam.

McMahon came through the ranks at Stockport County and has had loan spells at Leek Town and Stalybridge Celtic.

Last season he played 44 times for Irlam and was a pivotal part of their victory over us in the Manchester Premier Cup Final.

Manager Nick Spooner said ”Taylor is somebody who comes highly rated and who we’ve kept tabs on, we saw how he performed against us in the final and that made us even more eager to sign him”

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”

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.’’

Our pre season programme has been announced as we kick off on Saturday 5th July with a home game against Wythenshawe Town.

All fixtures are below with season tickets avaliable to purchase in June and this will guarantee you free entry into the games

Joel Amado has today informed the club he won’t be re-signing for next season.  Joel was offered terms for this season but has expressed a desire to take on a new challenge

Joel joined from Atherton Collieries at the end of the 2020/21 league campaign and has made 95 appearances for the club, scoring seven goals.

We thank Joel and wish him well in the future.

Following the 3-2 victory over Blyth Spartans, assistant manager Martin Coyne spoke about the win.

On the victory

It was a tough game,the conditions didn’t help, the wind was very strong, probably stronger than people realise when you’re actually out there on the pitch. It was difficult playing against it but we chose to go against the wind in the first half, but it ended up being a bit stop-start, probably a reflection of our season in both final thirds. That said, we still should have scored two or three goals in the first half.

At half-time, the gaffer switched a few things around and it worked really well. We looked to get in behind a little quicker. Credit to Blyth, although they’re relegated, they made a good account of themselves today. They should be proud of their performance.

On the character the lads showed
Absolutely. They showed real resilience, conceding but then coming back strongly. Special mention to young Showman it was a fantastic finish to win us the game. He looked really lively when he came on, very pleased with him.

Both lads from Salford did really well. They’re direct, young, and hungry, and they want to get the ball down and play. Very promising signs from both of them.

On ”One Club Day”

It’s something we’ve talked about before. Seven years ago, we started the junior football club with just 32 kids. Seeing everyone out there today for the photo shows just how far we’ve come, not just the juniors, but the whole football club.

It’s been a fantastic turnout, the weather’s been lovely, and there’s even a band playing at the club now so a really successful day.

I’m hoping not just for today’s crowd to return, but even more to come along next week against Matlock we’ve already started planning for next week and preparations begin on Tuesday.
