Young midfielder arrives from Warrington

Sam Finley

MANAGEMENT duo Craig Harrison and Carl Darlington have strengthened the squad with the arrival of young midfielder Sam Finley.

The 19-year-old impressed in recent behind closed doors friendlies against Wrexham and Hereford United and joins from Warrington Town.
He joined the Cantilever Park outfit on-loan from Southport three seasons ago and became a regular in the first team last season, attracting interest from a number of clubs.
Earlier this season he was placed on the transfer list, eventually opting to stay at Cantilever Park, but failed to settle and missed a number of games through suspension.
Town manager Joey Dunn said: "Sam is a great young talent and we wish him well for the future. After much heart searching we decided it was probably best all round if he had a fresh start."
