Shirebrook Prepare For Relegation Fight
17th March, 2008
Shirebrook Town boss Pete Shuttleworth has made four new signings to his squad in the last week and there may be more to follow.
The Langwith Road outfit have bolstered their squad as they fight to stay in the NCEL Premier Division.
Joining the club are Callum Wilkinson from Glapwell, Nathan Swindell and Adam Tyler from Lincoln United and Ady Hall from Forest Town.
Nathan is a centre forward who was previously with Gainsborough before joining Lincoln and Adam is a midfielder who has had previous experience with Staveley.
Both are joining on a one month loan arrangement with Lincoln United.
Callum is a young centre forward who had impressed with their Under 19's before he signed in January by Glapwell but found first team opportunities hard to come by.
Ady is an experienced player who has played at Glapwell, Alfreton and a number of local clubs before plying his trade at Forest Town this season. He can play at centre half or in midfield.
Shuttleworth said: "There has been a lot of hard work behind the scenes this week to bring some new faces to the club and I am delighted that we are able to introduce a couple of new faces for Saturday.
"The last few results and performances have been unacceptable and the players have been made aware of that.
"There are also a few more players who we have the option of bringing in and it is now up to the current players to show they have got the desire and the ability to play for Shirebrook Town. Results have got to change quickly."
Leaving Langwith Road to make way for the new faces is Marc Sherlock who joined the club from Glapwell in November.
He will be remembered for his winning goal against his previous club on Boxing Day.
The manager added: "Unfortunately when you bring new faces to the club, some of the existing players have to make way and this was the case with Marc.
"He is a smashing lad and has a great attitude but, for one reason or another, things haven't worked out for him at Shirebrook.
"I wish him all the best in football."
