Stuart Beavon is preparing for his sixth full season at Mickleover, having originally signed from Nuneaton back in February 2020.
A regular goal scorer and mentor to some of the younger players, he is already looking forward to the challenge of getting Sports back in the Premier Division of the NPL.
I want to play much as I can still, but obviously my coaching job is important to the team and to me too. I am still learning from the Gaffer and Gallers. This season we want to be right up there from the start, we need to aim high to get straight back up again, but I think we can do it
he said.
What can I say about Bev. Firstly, he’s a really good friend and a very good footballer. He does both his roles really well. Him and Gallers are like a double act and his performances definitely defy his age. He leads the line so well, but was to isolated last year, that won’t happen this year
