Earlier in the pre-season period we announced our retained list – the vast majority of the squad have stayed on from last season. Goalkeeper Sam Booth has once again signed a contract with the club, and youngster Josh Wood has also been signed up to a deal for the new season. All other players have signed up to the usual non-contract arrangements.
AHEAD of our opening League fixture of 2025-26, here’s a re-cap of the ins & outs of the squad:
Rio Clegg joined Radcliffe FC this summer after a season at Shawe View that saw him become the top scorer in NPL West with 20 goals.
Young striker Kanye Nisbett has joined Stockpot Georgians in search of more first team opportunities.
Defender Bailey Brown is on dual registration with Cheadle Nomads.
Midfielder Taylor Dyson who joined us in the final few weeks of last season has taken up an offer from Hyde United.
Forward Kevin Spinelli is looking for a new club.
We wish all the departees every success at their new clubs.
Our Reserves team had a very good season in 24-25, finishing 4th in their League and reaching the League Cup Final where they unfortunately lost on penalties. Two players from Paul Barrow’s squad have been promoted to the 1st Team squad for the new season – midfielder Henry Brown and defender Kieron Jones.
Former TFCY U-18 player Harrison Bickerton has returned to the Club after a couple of seasons away playing for Wythenshawe FC and Cheadle Nomads.
Other new faces in the squad include:
Kingston Fligg: (Midfielder, 19, Stockport Town)
Campbell Reid: (Forward, 19, former clubs)
Kieron Molloy: (Midfielder, 24, Wythenshawe Town)
Matt Davies: (Forward, 34, Charnock Richards)
