Holden earns his stripes

New Zebras striker Bruno Holden is in Brigg's squad for Saturday's Evo-Stik NPL First Division South clash with Halesowen.

The forward, 25, returns to the Hawthorns for a second time after signing on loan today [Friday] from Worksop Town in time to take on the Yeltz at home.

Holden, 25, switched to the Evo-Stik NPL Premier Tigers in pre-season from Stamford but was transfer listed this week along with fellow frontman Massiah McDonald. Both were struggling to win starts and Worksop made them available to earn valuable game time.

Brigg's new forward has also played for Stamford, Ossett Town and Guiseley as well as previously for Brigg manager Mick Gray when he was at Armthorpe Welfare, Selby Town and Louth Town.

Gray was delighted to get his man and said: "Bruno thoroughly enjoyed his last spell at Brigg and was delighted to come back when he looked at the quality of our current squad and heard our plans to progress in the future."
