From New Zealand to Stalybridge

Stalybridge Celtic have signed versatile Anthony Whitehead following a spell in New Zealand.

Whitehead, 24, has turned out for Celtic in a couple of their pre-season games and has done enough to impress manager Simon Haworth and receive a deal.

He played for Southern United in New Zealand last season, and previously spent six seasons with Limerick in Ireland.

Comfortable in midfield or at centre-back, Whitehead had trials at West Ham and Wycombe Wanderers before signing for Limerick in 2011.

Where next?

Stafford land Port Vale midfielder Stafford Rangers have signed attacking midfielder Joe Berks on loan from Port Vale.
Double deal for Witton Witton have signed goalkeeper Chris Renshaw and defender Stefan Sorensen ahead of the new season.
