We are delighted to announce the signing of central defender Festus Arthur.

German born Festus started his professional career at Stockport County making just 31 appearances before moving to Championship side Hull City for an undisclosed fee. Loan moves to Barrow and FC Halifax soon followed before a permanent move to the Yorkshire side followed in 2023.  Festus became a fans favourite at the Shay, last season saw a loan move to Southport as he recovered from injury, where he made 27 appearances.

Nick Spooner said on the move, ”Festus has been training with us, he’s had his injury problems over the last season or so, so now we’re giving him a platform to get some minutes and he’s a leader who will help us massively”
