Moors Finally Get Their Man
Moors Finally Get Their Man
Jason Ainsley, manager of Vanarama National League North club Spennymoor Town, has bolstered his attack with the addition of former Chester FC wide-man Ben McKenna.

The tricky 26-year-old is comfortable on either wing, and signed for the Moors amid interest from several other clubs.

 

But he is no stranger to Ainsley or to Spennymoor. McKenna discussed potentially joining the Moors in January, before eventually becoming a Chester player for the second half of 2018/19.

 

But the Burnley native left the Blues at the end of the season and interest was immediately re-ignited from the Spennymoor management team. 

 

He caught their eye when he scored the winner against the Moors in August whilst playing for Bradford Park Avenue, where he scored 5 goals in the first half of the season.

 

The second half of the campaign was less fruitful with the Blues, where he made 9 appearances and scored once.

 

McKenna started his career with home-town club Burnley, but it was with Carlisle United that he turned pro and made his senior debut in 2010.

 

He was loaned out to Annan Athletic from Carlisle in 2012, before spells for Workington, Stalybridge Celtic, Southport, Stockport and Curzon Ashton, as well as two spells with Park Avenue.

 

He has been capped by Northern Ireland at under-17, 18 and under-19 level.
