We are delighted to welcome Connor Hall back to Sports after his hugely successful spell at the club earlier this season. Connor scored an amazing 9 goals in 5 matches for Sports and still sits as the clubs second highest scorer this season.

Connor will be with us in a ‘dual contract’ with his current club, Woking – an arrangement where he is able to play for either club that demand has services with his current club claiming the priority decision.

In addition, Sports have acquired the services of Aaron Cole from Long Eaton United – a fast and pacy winger who previously had spells with Derby County and Belper Town amongst others.

Steve Taylor, assistant manager to first team manager John McGrath has left Sports to take up a new role as assistant manager to Mark Robins at Coventry City – a club he has worked with before.

The club will now begin the process of hiring a new assistant manager.

It is with regret that this evening’s game with Hednesford Town has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

SPORTS STRENGTHEN SQUAD WITH STRIKER SIGNINGS

We are pleased to confirm that Tyler Blake has extended his loan deal with Sports to the end of the season.

Blake has been prolific for the club in his short spell, with 5 goals in 4 games to date.

John McGrath has bolstered the squad further by signing striker Kuda Muskwe (pictured) on loan from Rotherham United.

Muskwe scored five goals whilst on loan at Stockbridge Park Steels and will further strengthen the options available to McGrath.

Keep an eye out for more transfer news over the next few days…

It’s been a busy week at the club with first-team player-manager John McGrath making two important player changes.

Firstly, we see striker Zeph Thomas go to Shaw Lane Aquaforce on a permanent deal. Zeph had a strong goal scoring record at Sports, but with Adam Baskerville now back from injury, there is cover up front. This is in addition to Tyler Blake, a recent acquisition from Mansfield Town.

In addition, Sports have clinched the signing of Nick Draper (pictured), an experienced goalkeeper from Worcester City to replace the outgoing Green on a season-long loan.

John McGrath had the following to say about Green:

I am delighted to get the services of Nick. He is a goalkeeper I have long admired and I really look forward to working with him. He will add great experience and competition to our squad.

Come to the Don Amott Arena tomorrow to see the lads play against Workington FC in the NPL Premier Division (3pm).
