Brighouse Town are pleased to announce the permanent signing of 24 year old Goalkeeper Brett Souter from West Yorkshire neighbours Hemsworth Miners Welfare.

After the club broke the news on the 15th January regarding the departure of Manchester United loanee Jacob Carney this is welcome news for the club. The young Red left for Portadown FC in Northern Ireland to continue his own development.

The former Captain of Hemsworth; Souter joins having previously made over 100 appearances for Ossett Albion/United and can also count the now defunct South Yorkshire side Shaw Lane Aquaforce amongst his other former clubs.
On his capture for The Orange Army Manager Vill Powell said, “I think Brett’s ability and experience speaks for itself he’s someone that’s been on my radar for a long time and finally it’s come together he’s captained teams at this level so vocal abilities will be welcomed.”

When asked if the club will be making any further additions Powell added,
“At this point probably not as we don’t know where the season is heading. We needed a Goalkeeper with Jacob going back to Man United to get games at Portadown so that was an essential signing. He’s [Brett] signed until 2022 so it’s not just for this season.”

Welcome to the club Brett.
