Nantwich bolster defensive options

Nantwich Town have announced the signing of Courtney Meppen-Walter from Guiseley on a short-term loan deal.

The 29-year-old centre-back joined the Lions last season from Radcliffe and has made 26 appearances in total.

A Manchester City Academy player, he has featured for the likes of Carlisle, Chorley, Stockport County and Telford.

Meppen-Walters signing comes at a crucial time for the Dabbers, who have lost a key number of defenders in recent weeks.

On his new acquisition, Nantwich Town manager Paul Carden said: “He’s everything that we’ve been looking for.

“There’s obviously been a number of players who’ve left recently so we need more players but we need the right players.

“That’s not always easy but when I was told of Courtney’s availability I pushed and pushed to try and make it happen and am thankful to Guiseley for their help.

“Hopefully he comes in and gets the games he needs and plays the way I know he can and helps us along the way.

“He adds to what we’ve been lacking which is a little bit of experience and leadership at times.”
