Poachers Return for Watkins
United Counties League Premier Division club Boston Town have pulled off something of a coup by signing highly rated Kyle Watkins for the new campaign.

The 18-year-old defender initially came to the DWB Stadium on loan from SkyBet League Two side Lincoln City last season.

 

Now Watkins has committed himself to the Poachers for 2019/20, despite having offers from other clubs at a higher level.

 

And manager Gary Edgley has shown his faith in the teenager by making him captain.

 

He told https://www.bostontownfc.co.uk: "I'm absolutely delighted that Kyle is on board with us. Everyone's been asking me if he was going to be at Boston Town again this season and it shows the direction that this club is going in that he has signed.

 

"Kyle is probably the best defender in this league so it's no wonder that loads of other clubs wanted him. But he's been impressed with the way we're doing things here and believes this is the best place for him to develop.

 

"I also wanted to recognise his loyalty by giving him the extra responsibility of the captaincy."

 

Watkins played a major part in turning the Poachers' season around after Christmas by shoring up their leaking defence.

 

He featured as an unused substitute for Lincoln's first team towards the end of the season and was named Boston Town's young player of the year.
