We are excited to reveal the new Mickleover Sports FC home kit for the new 17/18 season.
 
The new home shirt sponsor is ‘Prostate Cancer’ (Prostate Cancer UK) – this has been paid for by Mickleover Sports chairman Don Amott as a gesture towards his ongoing support of important charity organisations. Don Amott will continue to be featured as the away kit sponsor.
 
As per last year, the other home kit sponsors are Escape Design & Print (Derby), and Monetise (UK Lead Generation).
 
The kit is once again supplied by the excellent XBlades Sports, and we can confirm that it will be available for purchase from our online store (date TBC).
 
We hope you love it like we do!

Transfer News: Bradley Grayson Signs For Sports

We are delighted that striker Bradley Grayson has signed for Sports amid heavy competition for his signature.

Bradley is a strong, pacy 24 year old striker who hails from Doncaster and made four appearances for Doncaster Rovers which preceded spells with Frickley Athletic, Matlock Town, Stocksbridge Steels and Buxton FC. He has also plied his trade abroad with Ange IF in Sweden where he scored an impressive 24 goiaqls in 22 games, Cumberland FC in South Australia and Loyola Mercalo Sparks in the Phillipines.

Last season in the NPL with Buxton he scored 20 goals, and 28 goals in all competitions.

Grayson is the second striker secured by first team manager, John McGrath, who has promised there will be plenty more transfer activity before the season restarts in August, and further demonstrates the club’s ambitious outlook.

Highly-Rated Striker Signs For Sports

Mickleover Sports have secured the signing of Evan Garnett, a highly-rated striker from Belper Town.

Garnett began his career with Burton Albion, spending two and a half years on their books before joining Worksop Town.

He has also played for Ilkeston and Hucknall before linking up for a spell with Belper Town, for whom he scored 19 goals in the first half of the 2015/16 season.

Conference side Kidderminster Harriers came calling and signed him in January 2016 but opportunities were few and far between for Evan, both there and at Alfreton Town who he later joined and in November 2016 he returned to Belper for the rest of that season scoring 5 goals.

Manager John McGrath, who tried to sign Garnett last season has had to wait until now to finally get his signature.

There will be another big signing announcement coming very soon…
