Ethan Thanks Fans

A message from Ethan

Ethan StewartOne of our stand-out-players over the last few seasons – Ethan Stewart, has confirmed that he will be joining Basford United for this forth-coming season.

With over one-hundred appearances for the Boro over the three seasons played, Ethan scored 8 goals and had 7 assists over that period.

The club would like to thank Ethan and his family for their contributions and smiles while being with the Rangers; it has been a privilege knowing and working with you.

Ethan has left a message to everyone at the club:

Hi all, unfortunately my time at Stafford has come to an end. I’ve enjoyed my time here immensely, from the teammates I’ve had the pleasure of sharing a pitch with, to the fans chanting from minute 1 to minute 90 and finally the back room staff who helped me perform on the pitch.

Without all these factors I don’t think I’d have developed into the player I am today. I wanted to wish everyone at the club and all the fans good luck for the future. I’m sure the Boro will be back to where it belongs in no time and I look forward to seeing that happen in the near future.

Good luck Ethan, we’re sure everyone will take much interest in your career going forward. You and your family will always be welcome at the Stan Robinson Stadium.

Another 2 players added

Jimmy O'Neill

We can confirm the re-signing of fans favourite James O’Neill. Jimmy had an injury blighted season last year, and was a huge loss to our back line and dressing room. A huge character on and off the pitch his presence was greatly missed. Now fully fit, Jimmy is totally focussed on pre-season and being a major player for us throughout the coming season.

Jimmy commented on his injury status:- “Recently I’ve had all the all clear from my doctor which is good news,so I’m just hoping that there will be no setbacks from now and that I can just get back to my best.“

When asked about  how he can help the younger lads:- “I remember when I started at Telford and all the older players that had been in the leagues were brilliant with me, and I think you’ve got to replicate that and be a role model and take the younger ones under your wing.

It’s your job to teach them right from wrong in terms of decision making and things like that.”

Joining Jimmy is 28 year old left sided full back/wingback Ben O’Hanlon. Ben started his career with Wolves and is a former England Under 18 international. Whilst at Wolves Ben had loan experience at Corby, Telford and Nuneaton. On his release from Wolves Ben signed for Harrogate and later Darlington, before returning to his midlands home to represent Hednesford, Stourbridge & Bromsgrove Sporting amongst others.

Welcome back Jimmy and welcome Ben, as Dave Cooke continues to build a competitive squad for the coming campaign

Stopper Stays at the Boro

Cameron BelfordWe can announce that Cameron Belford has confirmed his loyalty to the club by agreeing to sign for the 2024/25 season.

Having had time to consider offers closer to his Warwickshire home, Cameron believes that loyalty and affinity to the club override all other considerations and he cannot wait to be part of the new squad being built by Dave Cooke, as we look ahead to a positive season in the NPL West.

Cameron has a firm belief that we will be competing at the right end of the table and the style of football should bring a buzz factor back amongst the fans, who he believes will provide crucial backing next season.

Cam commented on his decision to stay:- “A massive factor in my decision to stay was the club itself and the people. I personally feel I’ve had two good seasons at the club and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have offers elsewhere but the way the club has been with me since I walked through the door I wanted to show some loyalty and stick by them in return even with the drop in the level.”

 

When asked about the club, he also stated:- “The club on a whole is a great club and I mentioned this in a conversation with the gaffer when I told him I was staying. I’ve been at plenty of clubs throughout my career where they are quick to mess you around and be done with you but this club isn’t one of them. There are people working tirelessly behind the scenes to make it work and it’s great to see they care. As for the fans I can only speak as I find and they have been brilliant with me from the start and long may it continue.”

Welcome back Cam !
