Care, 20 years old joins from local rivals Market Drayton where he played last season at Step 4. The big central defender joins Luke Goddard's exciting squad that is being assembled with a growing reputation despite his age, a target the management have highlighted for a number of months. Our new recruit had this to say;

"I am very pleased to be signing for Whitchurch Alport. After speaking with the Luke, the direction and goals for the season match my own. The mentality and togetherness around the club made me feel apart of something special from the off, therefore an opportunity I could not refuse. With all the developments being done around the ground, the pitch and facilities are some of the very best in the midlands. I have seen first hand that the club has an amazing group of loyal fans, I look forward to meeting you and delivering some silverware to celebrate this season. After the merger within the club with the youth teams, I am excited to see some of the younger players in the club and watching and joining in with some of their sessions. I can’t wait to join a top group of lads, and get started in pre season"

Manager Luke Goddard "Delighted to welcome Joe to Alport, it's essential this year we have hungry players who share our ambition to challenge for promotion. Within this means we need to not only recruit so called proven players but some of the better local younger talent that wish to progress within our structure. Joe we have watched for much of the season and he's proven his ability in the league above, so with how we will aim to improve him individually with our coaching we have one of the up and coming centre halves locally who can be here for a number of years as we progress together. I know the way he plays he will become a hit with the Red Army"

Keep an eye out over the coming days as we announce further signings and re-signings as we get closer to pre season commencing for 22/23!!
