Morpeth bring in highly-rated youngsters

Giles, 18, has previously played for New Hartley and comes highly-rated.

He said: “I’m very pleased to be joining Morpeth Town and to have the opportunity to play in a team packed with experienced players at a high level. What convinced me to sign was the standard of the club, as in the level they play at and the facilities on offer, such as the great pitch.

“I also had a few talks with Ken (Beattie, chairman) and Nick (Gray, manager) and they both made me feel welcome. I will bring youth, pace and power which will cause a threat and give a different dynamic up front if Plan A isn’t working.”

Mohammed, 19, has played for Carlisle United Under 19s and has spent a season in senior football with Stockton Town.

He said: “When I heard Nick (Gray, manager) was interested in me, I was happy to take the opportunity and sign as Morpeth are a club on the rise as they won the league last season and will continue doing well.

“The facilities and the set-up are amazing and I’m looking forward to getting started. Last season was my first playing adult football and I really enjoyed it. I thought it went very well and I’m looking forward to carrying it on at Craik Park.”
