Gomes, 27, joins from The Shakers for an undisclosed fee and becomes manager Graham Deakin’s eleventh signing of a busy summer, as the club steps up its ambitious project on and off the pitch.

Born in Portugal, Gomes made a name for himself as an attacking full back with plenty of pace to burn, featuring for numerous sides in the North West region including Stockport Town, Radcliffe, Stalybridge Celtic, and most recently Bury, where he won the NPL West division title last season.

Head scout George Stephens had the following to say about the signing:

I would like to personally thank Johnno and Bury FC for their co-operation throughout this process. We have achieved an agreement that represents fantastic value for the football club and we would like to place on record our thanks to Bury FC in their assistance in completing the deal.

Bebeto is a player we identified very early on as one of the best in his position outside of the National League. Fans, I am sure will remember him from January and how good he looked on that day. When this looked like it could become a real possibility towards the end of last week, it was important that myself and Deakz moved quickly to secure his signature.

We are absolutely thrilled to have him in the building. We have beaten off stiff competition from Step 2 and Step 3 clubs to get his signature and this shows how attractive a proposition the project at Stafford Rangers is to high-quality players like Beto. We look forward to him representing our fantastic football club as we move into the new season.

We hope you can all give him a huge welcome to the club!

Ty Webster

Stafford Rangers are delighted to announce the signing of exciting attacking midfielder, Ty Webster.

Webster, 20, joins the club to become manager Graham Deakin’s tenth new signing of what has been a busy summer, joining from NPL Premier Division side Warrington Rylands, for whom he signed for in March.

Ty Webster

Prior to this Webster turned out for Chasetown, where he scored a spectacular goal against the Boro’ and he will be joined by some familiar faces in what is going to be a very different dressing room at the Stan Robinson Stadium.

Even at a young age Webster brings experience, having started his career playing for the academies at Crewe & Stoke, he then went on to turn out for AFC Telford United & Leek Town before his move to the Scholars at the start of last season. 

Graham Deakin said on the signing:

“Ty is a player I have admired for a couple of years now. He has had a good football upbringing, coming through the academy at Crewe, and he is a special talent.”

“He is capable of producing match-winning moments, as we saw against ourselves last season, and it is something I have seen him do on many an occasion.”

“We have beat off some stiff competition from Step 3 sides, as well as teams at our level, so I am absolutely delighted to get this deal done, and that Ty has chosen to join us.”

You can catch an exclusive interview with Ty over the weekend, and we hope you can look forward to welcoming him to the club.
