A new “old” face for Frickley

Frickley Athletic have signed former fans favourite Tyler Williams.

Williams, 23, spent a couple of seasons with Frickley after arriving from Leek Town in 2015, before moving on to Brighouse Town.

He went straight in to the team for the 3-0 win over Loughborough Dynamo in the BetVictor Northern Premier S/East Division on Tuesday night.

Manager Dave Frecklington said: "Really pleased to get Tyler Williams on board. He’s a player that fits the bill in every aspect in what we are trying to do here at Frickley Athletic FC.

“He’s got a fantastic work ethic, a turn of pace and produces quality in the final 3rd. More importantly he’s a good character who wants to kick on now with his football and help us in our bid to climb the table.

“Tyler also has the experience of playing in the playoffs twice before at this level especially at Brighouse last season when they won it.”

Meanwhile, Frickley have extended the loan deal of Doncaster Rovers youngster Reeves Boocock until January.
