Triple signing boost for Hyde

Goalkeeper Aidan Winterbottom, defender Luis Morrison and Michael Elstone have all been brought in by manager Dave McGurk.

Former Grays, Alfreton, Nuneaton and Stratford defender Morrison started in the 4-1 win over Glossop North End in the Manchester Premier Cup on Tuesday night.

McGurk told the club’s official website: “Aidan comes in to provide cover should anything happen to Luke. James Hodges and Thierry Lewis are both currently injured so we have had to move to make sure we are not left short.

“Luis joins us and is available for tomorrow evening. He is a player with a real presence and is another one who has impressed in training. He’s vocal and will add strength and leadership down the spine of the team.

“Michael has been training with us leaving Curzon and he has impressed during that time with us. He’s looked sharp and should be able to come in and hit the ground running.”

Elstone was in the youth teams at Crewe, Bangor City and Fulham, and has also had spells at Marine and Glossop.

Winterbottom was reserve keeper at Stalybridge.
