Match Report

The club is pleased to announce and welcome two new signings ahead of this afternoon's game.

Liam Morris, 24, joins us from Litherland REMYCA, having made his debut for them last weekend. Meanwhile, 23-year-old Jack Hinnigan arrives from Warrington Town.

Linnets manager Michael Ellison said of the new recruits:

"Liam is a young, versatile midfielder with great potential. He can play in a number of positions; he was a scholar at Everton and then a pro at Bolton before being released in the summer. He's very good technically and has an eye for goal. 

"Jack is a left-sided centre half, who's good in the air and comfortable with the ball at his feet. His previous clubs include Warrington and he has played for Ashton Town in the Counties." 

We wish both players every success while hoping they enjoy their time with us.
