The vastly experienced striker Chris O’Grady has signed for Mickleover.
With over 550 league appearances scoring over 100 goals, O’Grady started out at Leicester City and made his league debut in 2003 in the old League Division One.
He went on to play in the Premiership, Leagues One and Two, for Notts County, Rushden & Diamonds, Rotherham, Oldham Athletic, Bury, Bradford City, Stockport County, Rochdale, Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley, Brighton, Sheffield Wednesday, Nottingham Forest, Burton Albion and Chesterfield, before ending his football league career at Bolton Wanderers in June 2020.
More recently he has appeared for Ilkeston Town and Grantham Town and in his youth was capped by England at Under 17 level, and goes straight into the squad for tonight’s game.
