BRIGHOUSE TOWN manager Vill Powell has added to his squad with the capture of an Ossett United striker and also ensured another five of last season’s squad have put pen to paper for the 2021-22 Pitching-In Northern Premier League season.
Elliot Harrison, 22, joins former Ossett goalkeeper Brett Souter on the Town books after impressing in training and a training session game.
Town drew 2-2 at home last Friday night with ambitious Golcar United who included several former players under Paul Quinn, with goals coming from Mohammed `TJ’ Ibrahim and Zephyr Thomas.
Also engaged once more are long serving talented forward of midfield player Thomas Haigh, full-back Mikey Starkey who has missed the past two part seasons with a complicated leg injury but is now fully fit, tricky wideman Javelle Clarke, the stepson of former popular Huddersfield Town striker Nathaniel Brown, ex-Huddersfield Town and Clydebank midfielder Jack Boyle and experienced Shelf-based midfielder Danny Racchi who has been on Huddersfield Town, Halifax Town, York City and Kilmarnock’s books.
In the meantime Town’s academy side under manager-coach Simon Ward have recorded two impressive victories last Thursday 3-2 over Skelmersdale at home and then 6-1 at Witton Albion on Monday afternoon.
Nostell FC, who Town will play next Tuesday at their Crofton ground, near Wakefield, in a behind closed doors friendly, have joined the Yorkshire Trophy that commences on Monday, May 17.
That means now that the competition will be in two groups, with Town having Penistone Church in with them and Wakefield City, while in Group 2 it will be Golcar United, Liversedge and Nostell FC.
