Exciting
midfielder Cassidy joins after an impressive two-season spell with Consett AFC
where he played a pivotal part in the Durham Challenge Cup success in 2017.
Initially
joined the Steelmen on a month’s loan from Gateshead in 2016, however, a nasty
injury suffered in a League Cup game against Norton & Stockton Ancients
ruled him out for the rest of that campaign.
Upon his
release from the Heed at the end of that season, Consett didn’t hesitate in
securing his services on a permanent basis.
Talented
striker McCarthy has experience of playing at a high level after coming through
a Middlesbrough academy side in 2015 which at the time competed in the Under-21
Premier League.
He went
on to score 2 goals in 9 appearances before leaving Boro for Bishop Auckland in
2015.
Following
his time with the Two Blues, he joined Newcastle Benfield and became an
important part of their team, scoring a hat-trick and earning the man of the
match award in their game against Penrith in October 2018.
After
announcing his departure from Benfield during the summer of 2019, Shields were
quick to snap up the attacker who is renowned for his lightning speed and ability
to score a spectacular goal or two.
Versatile
defender Christensen has also signed.
He is a
solid and experienced player who likes to get stuck in and will not shy away
from a battle on the pitch.
He is
comfortable playing anywhere across the defence and has often been described as
having real leadership qualities.
He spent
five seasons in total with Ashington before making the move at the start of
last season to local rivals Whitley Bay.
After an
impressive season with the Seahorses, the Robins fought off competition from a
number of clubs to secure his services for next season. |
