Jepson in Kidsgrove u-turn

Jepson, 23, had signed registrations forms for the 2020/21 season last Saturday, but an offer came in this week from the Bears that was too good for him to turn down.

The defender scored three goals last season, including in the Staffordshire Senior Cup game against Stoke City, in what turned out to be the club’s final home game.

A club spokesperson thanked Jepson for all of his efforts and wished him all the best.
