The former Everton youth star is pictured collecting an engraved glass trophy and bottle of bubbly to mark his 200th appearance from Warrington Town chairman Toby Macormac‏ on Tuesday night before kicking off in the club's 1-0 win over Mickleover Sports, red-hot striker Ruben Jerome firing the Yellows in the top flight's play-off places.

Signed in 2012 from Welsh Premier League side Aberystwyth Town, the longest serving player at Cantilever Park played a key role in the club's headline-making run to the second round of the Emirates FA Cup during the 2014-15 campaign and lifting the Integro League Cup the same season.

A near permanent fixture at the heart of defence, the 26-year-old defender and former Everton U18s 'Player of the Year' helped the Yellows amass a record-breaking points total of 106 last term to march to the EVO-STIK NPL First Division North title and promotion to the top flight.
