Hebburn Town unveil third summer signing

Foalle joined Morpeth in 2018 and went on to spend seven years at the club, making a total of 226 appearances in all competitions.

In his final season, Foalle scored 11 times in 38 appearances for the Highwaymen as they finished eighth in the Northern Premier League's top division, seven points adrift of the play-offs.

Having missed out on securing Foalle's signature last season, the club have now managed to land the 31-year-old, who becomes the Hornets' third signing of the summer.

Midfielder Ethan Wood and experienced forward Gary Martin have already joined a Hebburn side that finished 14th last season.

Bolstering their forward line has been a key area of recruitment for Hebburn following the loss of captain and prolific goalscorer Amar Purewal to Stockton Town, with Martin and now Foalle agreeing to join the club. 

Purewal netted 82 goals in 178 appearances for the club, playing a starring role in their rise to Step 3.

"I'm really excited to join Hebburn," Foalle said.

"I spoke to Bobby [Daniel Moore] last season and it wasn't the right time, but now it's the perfect opportunity and I'm looking forward to it.

"Bobby's very passionate about everything he does and that fits in with myself. I die by the sword on the football pitch, so I think we're very similar.

"I'm looking forward to getting started here, and I can't wait to get going."
