....striker Craig Westcarr on dual-registration from Vanarama National League North side Boston United.

Born in Nottingham, the 33-year-old began his career on the books of Nottingham Forest, where he featured on twenty-six occasions in all competitions for them.

He left the City Ground over a decade ago and spent a season on the books of Cambridge United, then enjoyed a three-year spell at Kettering Town, during which he helped the Poppies to the National League (then Conference) North title, before the club established themselves in the top flight of non-League football.

His displays brought admirers from a higher level and he moved to Notts County in June 2009.

A title winner during a Meadow Lane career which saw him rack up over 100 appearances, his next stop was Chesterfield – and he enjoyed yet more success at the Proact Stadium by scoring in stoppage time in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy Final win over Swindon Town at Wembley.

Following a year-and-a-half with the Spireites, he moved to Walsall in January 2013, before arriving at Portsmouth in the summer of 2014 after bagging 22 goals in seventy-two appearances for Dean Smith’s men.

Westcarr, who represented England from under-15 up to under-21 level, moved to Mansfield Town in the summer of 2015 and added 24 games and 3 goals to his tally and also spent a couple of months on loan to National League side Southport.

Westcarr went on to bag 34 goals during two seasons with Alfreton Town and linked up with the Pilgrims last month following a brief pre-season stint back at Kettering.

Unfortunately, Westcarr`s debut for the Gladiators came in Monday night`s 6-0 hammering at Basford United!
