The prolific 25-year-old striker signs on a two-year contract.

 

He joined Cirencester in the summer of 2017 from Didcot Town having previously been with Swindon Supermarine, Swindon Town and Chippenham Town.

 

He ended his first season as the joint winner of the `golden boot` and swept the board at the club`s end of season awards, and despite his second season being brought to a halt after he sustained a serious injury, he still managed to take his Ciren tally to an incredible 86 goals in 87 games!

 

Manager Scott Bartlett told https://www.westonsmareafc.co.uk: “There was a lot of competition for Ben’s signature so I am delighted we have got him.

 

“He is a good player, is at a good age and is hungry to do well.

 

“I have seen him several times over the past two seasons, he is exactly what we are after and will be a good fit for us.

 

“His goal record speaks for itself, but he brings more than just goals.

 

“He is quick, has clever movement, he works hard and is decent in the air.

 

“I am delighted to have him and am looking forward to working with him.”

 

Whitehead said: “I’m delighted to sign for the club.

 

“After speaking to Scott about the plans he and the club have it was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down.

 

“I’d like to thank everyone at Cirencester for the last two years.

 

“I’m now looking forward to the new challenge and hope I can create and score goals to get the club back to where it belongs along with my new team-mates”.
