Gresley Rovers bolster forward line

Sleigh most notably made his name at United Counties League side Heanor Town, where he scored a remarkable 147 goals in 174 appearances.

That tally left him just seven goals behind the Lions' all-time record goalscorer, Kieran Debrouwer.

Sleigh enjoyed a two-year stint at Northern Premier League side Stafford Rangers before leaving in August 2021 to return to Heanor.

His arrival will be a welcome boost for the Moatmen, whose 2022/23 tally of 34 goals in 38 league matches was the third-lowest of any side in the Pitching In NPL Midlands Division.

Sleigh will link up with his new team-mates when they return for pre-season training next week.

He also becomes the club's second signing in as many days, with former Belper Town defender Jayden Cotterill also making the move to the Moat Ground.
