Us to mate, before Telford came into the Uni it looked like Rocester would be our local game!

 

Willenhall Town are embarking on the ‘unknown’ as they start life in the UniBond League First Division next season.

But manager Rob Smith has signed one of the most experienced and well-respected players in Midlands non-League football to aid the former Travel Factory Midland Alliance side.

Smith has snapped up veteran midfielder Martin Myers from new rivals Redditch United.

Myers, now 38, originally made his name at both Telford United and Tamworth, with whom he won the FA Vase back in 1989.

He has since had spells with Solihull Borough, Stourbridge and Moor Green before joining Redditch where he was actually signed by Smith during his time in charge at the Valley Stadium.

Last season Myers netted an impressive 15 goals in helping Redditch to win the Dr Martens League Western Division title, and Smith was delighted to acquire his services. “Signing Martin was the best I could have made.

“I will have no hesitation in making him my skipper and I just hope people can learn off him.”

Smith has also returned to the Midland Alliance to sign one the league’s most highly-sought after strikers in Karl Edwards from Chasetown.

Edwards was one of the Alliance’s leading scorers last season but was out of contract with the Scholars and wanted to play at a higher level.

Smith described Edwards’ arrival at Noose Lane as “superb”. He added: “I tried to sign Karl a year ago but I couldn’t guarantee him a first-team spot at the time.

“In retrospect it was twelve months too soon.”

However, on the down side, Willenhall have lost their own highly-prized striker Nicky Campbell, who has moved to Nationwide Conference North side Stafford Rangers.

Willenhall signed Campbell last November from Rushall Olympic, and although the Reds would have liked the 23-year-old to form a potentially lethal partnership with Karl Edwards, they couldn’t compete with Stafford’s offer.

Two other strikers, Jordan Lee and Lee Bullimore, are not expected to start the season with Willenhall.

Lee is attracting interest from Southern League Division One West side Bromsgrove Rovers, while Bullimore, a former Midland Alliance ‘golden boot’ winner, is struggling to be fit with a knee injury sustained last season.
