The 31-year-old has completed a switch from league rivals Mossley AFC 15 months after departing Widnes for Clitheroe in October 2018.


A prolific non-League marksman, he joined Mossley from another league rival, Runcorn Linnets in November 2019.

 

The 2018/19 season saw the experienced hitman finish joint second in the NPL North West charts with 22 goals while serving Widnes, Clitheroe and Ramsbottom United.

 

He had ended the previous season with Colwyn Bay, having joined the Welsh club from Glossop North End in February 2017 after netting 29 goals for the Hillmen in 2015/16.

 

He first came to prominence with Prescot Cables, where he stayed for close to two seasons, before transferring to Marine AFC.

 

His career really took off at this point with the then youngster's 28 goals in 2010/11 drawing attention from Football League scouts. His other former clubs also include Chester, FC Halifax Town, Connah's Quay Nomads and Witton Albion.

 

Widnes have also signed young goalkeeper Cameron Terry from another league rival, Trafford.

 

Originally with Vanarama National League North side Altrincham, the 19-year-old spent time in the NPL with Clitheroe before moving to Trafford in November 2019.
