The club are pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Adam Smallman to the youth team coaching staff, with immediate effect. Adam has recently left Hanley town FC where he held the post of Youth Team Manager and he has left them in very good shape, currently top of the MFYL Northern Division.

Adam will bring a wealth of coaching experience and will undoubtedly assist with recruitment of players from a wider geographical area with his extensive knowledge of the northern parts of Staffordshire and around the Potteries.

In addition to new coaching appointments, youth team manager Paul Casey has been busy adding to his playing staff for the hectic schedule of matches that has built up as a result of the poor weather.

The latest recruit is striker James Travis who has joined the club from Walsall FC, on loan, to gain 'work experience'. James is a quick and mobile 17 year old striker with good technique and should get amongst the goals in the next few weeks.

Our thanks go out to Mick Halsall at Walsall FC for facilitating this arrangement
