Signing up & Moving on


The close season is a busy time of the year when players make decisions about where they want to play next season and managers like to, as far as possible; settle the squad line up for the coming season.

As well as planning his squad for the Switzerland trip Karl Marginson and the coaching staff have been making sure the plans for next season are being put in place too.

One player who will be leaving FC United is Adam Jones. Adam will continue to work with FC United’s Community team but after scoring 19 goals in 105 appearances during his 3 seasons with FC United, Adam has decided to leave and to join Nantwich Town with whom he had a loan spell last season. Karl Marginson said: “After what has been a difficult season for him, Adam felt that he needed a fresh challenge and a change of scenery. We wish him well.???

Karl continued: “As shown by his receiving the Players’ Player and my Manager’s Player of the Year trophies, Liam Brownhill had an outstanding season last year and has earned himself a contract. Tom Greaves has also signed a contract for next season and I am in ongoing discussions with others in the squad. I am also looking to bring new players in to further strengthen our squad.???

The following players have all signed back on for next season’s campaign: Dave Birch, Liam Brownhill, Nick Culkin, Greg Daniels, Joe Fox, Tom Greaves, Jacob Hazel, Lewis Lacy, Astley Mulholland, Lee Neville, Mike Norton, Matt Walwyn, Matty Wolfenden.

The paperwork for: Callum Byrne, Dave Carnell, Dean Stott, Jerome Wright, will be finalised in the next few days.

We hope to see James Spencer and Chris Worsley back in an FC shirt before the end of next season too, both players are under treatment for long term knee ligament injuries and the club medical staff will be supporting them during their rehabilitation.
