Our Knight in White is BACK!!

posted in: First Team News, News | 0

We are delighted to announce, subject to FA approval, the return of striker Lewis Knight to the Horsfall after beating clubs from our division and above to his signature.

Lewis, who bagged 11 goals in 15 games last season, joins on a loan deal to the end of the season.

Speaking on his return, Lewis said: I am buzzing to be back here, it’s a really good environment to play football in. I’m looking forward to playing for Mark and Danny again, and being back involved with all the lads. If you look at the table, we are only 10 points from the play-offs, so hopefully I can help push us towards them!  

A delighted Mark Bower added: We are really delighted that Lewis has decided to re-join us. He had several other options available to him, but knows how well he will be looked after and how we will get the best out of him at Bradford (Park Avenue). We are really looking forward to getting him started, he has just come back from injury, so we will be careful with him over the next few weeks. We hope this signing shows that we are ambitious, and we are looking to climb that table as far we can this season

Welcome back Lewis!

We are delighted to announce the double capture of Harrison Hopper and Sam Fielding on 18 month deals from York City.

Both players offer the club greater strength and depth in the spine of our team, Harrison is an out and out Midfielder, whilst Sam can play in a defensive Midfield role or at Centre Half.

Speaking on the signings, Mark Bower said:- “We are delighted to get these two players in, we have been looking to strengthen our playing staff, and so getting these two in on long term deals is fantastic news for the Football Club”

We would also like to say a huge thank you to the Development Fund, without their amazing and continued support of the Club, these permanent transfers would not have been possible for us to contemplate let alone conclude.

Will Harrison and Sam feature in todays game? Team news this afternoon!

You can help support the effort by donating to Shelter online, or by texting ‘HOME’ to 70455 to donate £5 to Shelter. There will also be a bucket collection on the day for donations towards the charity.

Mazza on the Move

posted in: First Team News, News | 0

We can confirm that midfielder Isaac Marriott has today joined Altrincham for an undisclosed fee.

The midfielder has been in fine form this season, adding goals to his games that already included a massive amount of attributes

It is these performances that have had parked Altrincham’s interest.

In his time here Isaac has won many plaudits for his style of play, and whilst we are sad to see him go, we feel that Isaac can progress in full time football, and the right thing to do was not stand in his way.

Isaac becomes the latest to make the leap up the pyramid, following on from Lewis Knight joining Notts County earlier in the year, and signs off with a brace and a penalty in his last outing.

Everybody at the football club would like to thank Isaac for all his hard work here at the Horsfall, both on the pitch and with his work in our Academy and Summer Camps.

Good Luck Mazza!
