Striker adds more firepower

We are pleased to announce the signing of striker Niah Payne from Spennymoor Town FC. Now 24, Niah started his career with Bradford City before moving to Scotland, signing for Peterhead, where he became a firm fans favourite, making over 50 appearances. The need to relocate back to Leeds for family reasons saw Niah sign for Spennymoor Town at the start of last season, but with the management team moving on, his game time became limited, resulting in loan moves to Warrington Rylands, Hednesford Town and Marske United.

We have beaten off interest from Step 2 and Step 3 clubs to sign Niah and welcome him to the Boro.

We can also confirm the return of three familiar faces to the squad, all firm prospects for the future, keen to make an immediate impact. Welcome back strikers Ethan Morgan and Tyreece Onyeka and goalkeeper Jack Sandel. All three have committed to the Boro for their development at Step 3, under the guidance of Matt Hill and Dale Belford.

Welcome back!

Joe Kenton leaves

It is with great sadness that we need to inform you, that Joe Kenton will not be returning to the club for this coming season.

Joe has revealed that due to pressures at work, he will reluctantly not be able to commit to the more stringent levels that the club performs at, both in training and on a match-day.

Joe has been at the club for three seasons and has thoroughly enjoyed his time at the Boro and we would like to thank him for some great memories and goals.

Who can’t remember that great goal at FC United of Manchester.

Good luck Joe.

Come on down

Stafford Rangers FC are holding a series of volunteering days to get the ground looking its best for the new season and would be extremely grateful for any time that you can give.

Our Volunteer Days will be held on the following days from 10am to 1pm:-

• Saturday 17th June
• Saturday 8th July
• Saturday 15th July

Additional days may be added, if required.

By finishing at 1pm, this should give you ample time to freshen up and get down to the Stafford Town and Walsall Wood on the 8th and 15th July to cheer on the lads.

The following jobs need to be undertaken:-

1. The pile of concrete & any other rubbish removed from the ground and placed into the skip.
2. Full tidy of the ground and car park, to include weeding, cutting back shrubs and removing any rubbish.
3. Wash all the seats in the main stand and dug out.
4. Replace the damaged seats in the stand.
5. Paint the gates around the pitch white.
6. Clean the male and female toilets under the main stand.
7. Clean and paint the away side toilets.
8. Sweep the home and away turnstiles and grease up bases.
9. Repaint home and away turnstile doors and repair.
10. Clean all the advertising boards around the pitch perimeter and along the front of the car park.

Materials are in short supply, so please bring with you any paint brushes and cleaning equipment. A pressure washer for the seats will be very handy!

If you are unsure what to do please find Den, Mark, Ben or Alison who will be on hand to advise.

Thank-you and see you there.
