Fitzpatrick
is a very experienced midfielder with a vast wealth of games under his belt at
this level and higher. His previous clubs include Hereford United, Corby Town,
Solihull Moors, Stourbridge, Hednesford Town and more recently Walsall Wood.
Fitzpatrick
started out as a trainee at Wolverhampton Wanderers playing for the reserve
team at Molineux which gave him the pedigree to build his reputation at Steps 2
and 3 level as a very tidy, and composed player with an eye for goal.
He was a
major player in the Stourbridge side that finished second in the table,
finishing just behind champions Leamington, as well as an FA Cup run in 2013/14
that was eventually ended by Stevenage
Fitzpatrick
played a massive part of Walsall Wood’s Midland League Division One title and
League Cup winning side in the 2017/18 season.
Gresley have
beaten off plenty competition from elsewhere to secure the services of prolific
striker Paul Sullivan.
His previous
clubs include Chasetown, Hednesford Town and more recently Walsall Wood.
He started
his career out at Chasetown where he scored a hat-trick on his debut against
Loughborough Dynamo and played a massive part in the side that reached the play-off
final.
The following
season, Sullivan scored 16 goals in 30 games which brought interest from clubs
from leagues higher and Hednesford was his next destination.
Then-Chasetown
manager Marcus Law always kept an eye on his progress and when he saw an
opportunity to bring Sullivan back to club, he did so when an undisclosed fee
was paid and the striker didn’t disappoint, scoring 12 goals in 12 games,
including a run of 7 in 7 consecutive games to break a club record.
More
recently, Sullivan, like Fitzpatrick, was the key player to Walsall Wood's `double`
side where he scored 59 goals in 44 appearances. |
