Colne confirm second summer signing

Oli Roberts has been confirmed as Colne head coach Nathan Rooney’s second signing of the summer.

Roberts has signed a one-year deal with the club for the Pitching In Northern Premier League 2021/22 season, with the option of a second.

Having spent the last 18 months at FC Trafford, captaining them during the curtailed 2020/21 season, Roberts said: “I played under the gaffer a few of years ago, so when the opportunity came again it was something I couldn’t turn down. The standards are high in training and I can’t wait to see all the fans as the games start."

Head coach Rooney added: “I’m delighted to have Oli on board. He has everything in his locker to complement our group and has fit in well since we returned to training. Once he’s fully up to speed with our ideas, I have no doubt he will become a crowd favourite.”

The club previously confirmed the signing of experienced defender Paul Dugdale on a one-year deal, having made more than 150 appearances in the Northern Premier League with Lancaster, Clitheroe and Ramsbottom United.
