Warrington Town defender makes Football League move

Mfuni, 18, joined the club last summer and becomes the second Yellows player in the past six months to earn a full-time professional deal in the Football League, following Matty Grivosti’s move to Bolton Wanderers.

He made a total of four appearances but was part of the majority of this season’s matchday squads.

However, he has seen his game time restricted due to the form of fellow defenders Evan Gumbs and Tom Hannigan.

Discussing his departure, manager Mark Beesley said: “We took Teddy in the summer and we’ve been able to develop him and help him grow as a player.

“He’s learned a lot from the lads in training and being around the other players and staff, and I know Teddy wants to thank everyone at the club for their help.

“He’s the second player we’ve had in six months now move on to League One, so it shows the sort of environment that we’ve got here and that it can help young lads to develop and fulfil their dreams of becoming full-time professional footballers.

“We’re proud of that and hopefully it encourages others that this is the right club for them.”
