Ramsbottom has agreed a one-year contract that runs until June 2020.

 

The 23-year-old began his career as a youth with Tranmere Rovers and enjoyed stints with Galway United in the Republic of Ireland and then National League sides Barrow AFC and Macclesfield Town before signing for Alfreton in August 2018.

 

And manager David Hopkin has now moved to bring the imposing 6`5” shot-stopper north after he was recommended by new goalkeeping coach Dave Timmins.

 

He told www.gmfc.net: “Through Dave’s contacts Sam was recommended to me. We discussed his attributes and watched his clips, and I liked what I saw. We then had him up for a chat and managed to get him signed.

 

“I’m delighted. Sam has played non-league, which is not easy for a young goalkeeper of 23. He’s 6`5”, has a great presence about him, speaks well, and wants to do well.

 

“He’s a student of football. Everything you ask him, he already knows. He knew this club, the players … everything, so he’s gone and done his homework, too.

 

“He also played with Jordan White at Barrow who I had at Livingston and spoke to him. Jordan told him to go and work with me if he got the chance, and I take that as a real compliment”.
