Buxton add striker and move to cover Young loss

11 Dec 2018 By James Gordon

Buxton are targeting a new centre-back to replace captain Greg Young, who left to join Frickley last week.

Young, 35, made more than 185 appearances for the Bucks but drops down to the EVO-STIK League East Division for a player-coaching role under former boss Martin McIntosh.

The Bucks have now put a seven day approach in for an unnamed centre-back, with a couple of other defensive options also being considered.

Meanwhile, striker Reece Webb-Foster, 20, has arrived from Lancaster City.

He made his debut as a 16-year-old for Bradford City and had loan spells at Bradford Park Avenue, Guiseley and Harrogate Town.

Where next?

New deal and new responsibilities for Haworth Stalybridge Celtic manager Simon Haworth is to add leading the academy to his duties at Bower Fold.
