Sargent bolsters Radcliffe ranks

Radcliffe have signed talented midfielder Matt Sargent following his release from League Two Salford City.

Sargent, 21, goes against the recent trend of new Boro signings, as he links up with recently-appointed managerial duo Bernard Morley and Anthony Johnson for the very first time, despite playing for two of their former managerial clubs.

The Welshman also counts Wrexham, Chester and Buxton amongst his former teams, having endured six loan spells across the north from his parent outfit Salford between 2020-2022.

He is also no stranger to the Northern Premier League, having enjoyed a two-month spell at Warrington Rylands

Sargent has also been capped at U16s and U17s level by his national team.

“Speaking to the two gaffers and hearing their ambition for the club was a big drawing point that made me want to sign," he said.

"They’ve signed a lot of good players who can hopefully benefit me and help me flourish. I want to start the season how I ended the last one with Warrington Rylands, which I felt was positive.

"The loan spells I’ve had should stand me in good stead because I’ve played a lot of mens football for my age.

"Coming to Radcliffe now, I’m looking to showcase my ability and help the club go up the league.”
