Defensive reinforcements for the Yeltz

Pitching In NPL Midlands Division leaders Halesowen Town have signed experienced defender Chris Cox.

Cox, 30, first joined the Southern League side in July last year, signing a deal ahead of the 2022/23 season.

Before then, he started his career with Coventry United, playing for the club since their formation in 2013.

The versatile defender, who is capable of operating at right-back and centre-back, has also had spells at both Stratford Town and Tamworth.

He joins a Yeltz side currently three points clear at the top of the NPL Midlands Division ahead of Saturday’s trip to Corby Town.

​On his arrival, manager Martin Sockett said: "We are really pleased to get Coxy on board. He brings to the table everything we are about.

"He is competitive, experienced, tenacious and consistent, and is a great signing for our last 11 games."
