Stevens adds youth to experience

Evo-Stik NPL First Division South leaders Coalville Town have signed two youngsters as manager Adam Stevens strengthens his experienced squad.

September's Evo-Stik NPL Manager of the Month, pictured with his First Division South Award, has brought in Dominic Matcham and Thomas Cooper-Richards at Owen Street.

Matcham is a versatile midfielder who was at Plymouth Argyle's Academy before reaching the final of Sky TV's reality show 'Football's Next Star'. The 19-year-old is a student at nearby Loughborough University and was part of the university's side who played Coalville in the FA Cup.

Cooper-Richards is a forward or winger who most recently played for East Midlands Counties side Graham St. Prims. The 22-year-old is no stranger to this level of football after earlier stints at Evo-Stik NPL sides Belper Town and Mickleover Sports.
