“I’ve played with or against a lot of the lads so it will be great to join them again”

Spalding manager Brett Whaley also spoke on the addition of such an experienced player, he said “I’m delighted to bring Lewis to the club,

“He’s an excellent footballer who’s experience of higher level football and winning things at those levels will help us kick on from a positive start to the season.”
