After spending the second half of last season at the Don Amott Arena on loan from Boston Utd, Mickleover are delighted to confirm that ex Manchester Utd and Nottingham Forest Academy striker Manni Norkett has made his move permanent for the forthcoming season.
Manni did really well for the club when he came in last season, scoring 13 goals in 15 games. This record attracted a lot of interest, but he wants to improve and wants to score more goals. The club gave him a great opportunity to thrive and he knows what we are looking to achieve next season
said Sports boss Gareth Holmes.
It was in terms of my football that drew me back to Mickleover. Last season I was happy with my football, and that’s the most important thing to me and I enjoyed scoring goals again. The club has a lot of good prospects and if everything is done right, we can definitely make the step up. The area, facilities and fan base, I haven’t seen better in non-league,
Manni added.
