Morpeth Town is delighted to announce the signing of forward Connor Thomson ahead of the new Pitching In NPL Premier Division campaign.
Already accustomed to scoring at Craik Park, after his goal for Blyth Spartans knocked the Highwaymen out of the Northumberland Senior Cup last season, his eye for goal and desire to get on the front foot should make him a stand-out performer next season.
The 26-year-old’s previous clubs include Carlisle United, Blackburn Rovers, Barrow, Halifax, Gateshead and Scarborough Athletic, as well as Spartans, whom he featured 41 times for in the last two seasons.
Manager Craig Lynch was happy to secure the signature of Thomson, and keen to integrate him into the squad during the forthcoming pre-season.
“Connor is someone I’m delighted to get to the club,” he said.
“He has been playing in the league above the last few years and has the attributes I look for in a forward.
“We have seen over the years what he has done against us for Scarborough Athletic and Blyth so I hope he can re-create that in a Morpeth shirt.”
Thomson, speaking after his signing, was pleased to get the deal done and is eager to get started.
“Once I heard Morpeth were interested, I was over the moon and glad to get it done and now I’ve got pre-season to look forward to,” he said.
“I’ve known a few players who have been here past and present but when I played here in the Cup game, with the facilities and the pitch, for me it was a no-brainer.
“There are some pitches in the league where you are going to struggle to play on. But I know how Morpeth want to play and it suits me down to a tee.
“I just want to get the club up, in the play-offs and get them promoted.”
Connor is available to sponsor for the new season. Costing just £100+VAT, get in touch with admin@morpethtownafc.com to arrange today.
