FC UNITED SIGN NEW CENTRE HALF

FC UNITED SIGN NEW CENTRE HALFFootball Club United of Manchester yesterday signed central defender Dave Chadwick. Chadwick’s contract with Prescott Cables was recently terminated by mutual consent; and manager Karl Marginson is delighted to have him on board.

"Dave is my Stevie Bruce," said Marginson. "I played with him at Salford a few years ago before he joined Prescot Cables and they are gutted that he’s signed for us. He has been their Player of the Year for the last two seasons and they were desperate to keep him. But he wants to play for FC United and he is going to be a big asset. He is the type of defender who would put his head through a brick wall if you asked him to and that’s the type of player you need at this level. Dave loves his football.

He is a window-fitter and that job takes him all over the country. But if he’s got a match that day he will get up at three in the morning just to make sure that he’s back in time to play. You can’t get any more dedicated than that."
