The three new arrivals are defenders Louis Wardle and James Williamson plus attacking midfielder Niall Doran.

Wardle, 20, has been at Barnsley for a.decade having joined the Reds youth set-up in April 2007 at the age of 8.

He is capable of playing at full-back or in central midfield and was one of the stand-out performers for the Tykes under-23s but could not break through to the first team and had a successful loan period with Motorama National League North side Curzon Ashton towards the end of last season.

Former Bridlington Town and Barton Town man Williamson was at the now defunct North Ferriby United last season before Kittrick signed him for Matlock`s league rivals Scarborough Athletic in January 2019 and he made his Seadogs debut in the scoreless draw at the Proctor Cars Stadium last January.

Twenty-three-year-old former Hull City, Harrogate Town, Boston United and Whitby Town midfielder Doran spent three seasons at Buxton before moving to Mickleover Sports 12 months ago.

Injury restricted his season to just 3 appearances for Sports and he is keen to make a fresh start with the Gladiators.
