We are delighted to announce that highly-rated midfielder Jake Scott has signed for Mickleover Sports who beat a number of other clubs to his signature.
First-team manager John McGrath had the following to say…
“I am delighted to complete the signing of Jake Scott. Jake is a player I have tried to sign before and with the help of our chairman Don Amott and all our club committee we beat a host of clubs vying for Jakes signature.
He’s a holding midfielder by trade but can also fit in at right back so his versatility will be really important to us as the season progresses.”
