We are delighted to announce that Physio Pat Delaney has turned down an approach offering a similar position with an unnamed Southern League club and will be staying with the club for the 2017/18 season.

More than just a match day sponge man, Pat has become a firm favourite throughout the club voluntarily attending Reserve, Ladies, U18 and Youth matches to offer his assistance and available to treat players at the club during the course of the week in addition to his main role with the first team squad.

Manager Scott Armstrong comments "This is great news another key person committing. We plan to make more use of Pat's skills in the coming year, providing him with a dedicated room in the club house from which to operate from and introducing a reporting system on player injury and fitness in order to enable managers and coaches to monitor progress and recovery."
