Squad takes shape for the run-in

We can confirm the signing of 22 year-old left sided defender, Jack Stafford following his release from Swansea City. Jack began his career in the Exeter City Academy, before moving to Waterford in the Republic of Ireland, for whom he made 28 first team appearances. He was then signed by Swansea City FC, but spent the majority of the 2022-2023 season sidelined with injury. Having fully recuperated Jack played for Swansea City Under 23s before being released at the end of December.

Congleton based Jack played in our friendly against Kidsgrove on Tuesday, for the first hour, after we had secured international clearance. Jack will come straight into the squad for our game at Hyde United this coming Saturday.

We can also confirm that recent loan signing George Burroughs has been sidelined with COVID recently, which is the reason he did not take part on Tuesday, but we hope that George will be back training on Thursday and may be involved on Saturday.

Finally, having received a seven-days notice of approach from Clitheroe FC, we can confirm that Simon Njaria has left the club. We wish to thank Simon sincerely for his efforts and commitment whilst at the Boro and wish him well for the future.
