Youngster signs first contract with Colls

Battersby joined during the off-season from Manchester League side Hindsford.

“Personally, I’m very delighted to have signed a contract for a club like Colls," he told the club's official website.

"This season has been tough as it’s been a massive step up from playing at Hindsford last year, but I’ve really enjoyed it so far. I can see myself developing and learning from the players and staff who have been nothing but brilliant from the moment I arrived.”
