Bamber Bridge announce new signings as two club legends return

Both men left the club in 2021 having made over 900 combined appearances for the Brig.

They were key to the side’s promotion to the Northern Premier League during the 2017/18 season.

Marlow has been playing for the Brig Vets since retiring after 13 years playing for Bamber Bridge.

During that time he scored 50 goals - including a late winner against Prescot Cables in the 2017/18 play-off final.

Nicknamed ‘Goose’, the 35-year-old believes he still has a lot left in the tank, stating that “it will feel like coming home”.

He added: “In terms of what I can bring to the team, it is definitely experience. I have played nearly 500 games for Brig, so it should come in handy!"

Meanwhile, 33-year-old Waddecar spent 11 years at Bamber Bridge before moving to FC United of Manchester.

Winning the Golden Boot in the Brig’s first season back at Step 3, as well as multiple Player of the Season awards, Waddecar is regarded as one of the club’s greatest-ever players.

Both men will be available for next Saturday’s league fixture against Gainsborough Trinity.
