A product of Mickleover’s own youth scheme, Josh and Liam Carter will both be aiming for match time this season.
Orthodox wingers both have proven pace and spent part of last season out on loan at Belper Utd and Heanor Town, before becoming regular squad members towards the end of our campaign, which included Josh scoring his first senior goal.
“There was no second thoughts about staying at Mickleover after we were brought back into the squad at the end of last season. It’s time to say thanks for the opportunities we’ve been given as it gave us time to get used to the league we are in. It’s time to kick on and proved ourselves,” said Josh.
“Josh is a player with so much potential. He’s exciting and direct and we saw exceptional moments from him towards the end of last season, his goal against Rugby springs to mind. He now needs to believe in his ability and strive for consistency,” said gaffer Gareth Holmes.
“It was an obvious choice for me too, I learned a lot out on loan, started to get assists and score goals and I want to do it more with Mickleover. We know we still have a lot to learn and it’s now time to prove that and learn,” Liam added.
“Liam had a difficult season last year with injuries etc, but these experiences help him grow and be even better moving forward. He’s another player with real pace and ability and it’s gear to have him back with the club,” Gareth replied.
