Pritchard snaps up striker

Striker Kyle Wilson is returning to Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Witton Albion next season after becoming manager Brian Pritchard's first signing of the summer, the Northwich Guardian's Andrew Simpson is reporting.

The front man, who scored four goals in seven starts during a brief spell at Wincham Park five years ago, spent most of last season at Witton's Premier Division rivals Nantwich Town.

Now 27, his best season in the Premier Division was with FC United of Manchester in 2009, hitting the net 24 times to finish as the division's fourth top scorer.

It earned him a switch to the Football League with Macclesfield Town, where he spent a single season. Spells with Hyde, Chester and Bangor followed.
