It capped off a fantastic week for the club after the Nottinghamshire outfit won a £25,000 share of the Buildbase £100,000 competition for community projects.

Gatter is a utility player who joined Southern League Premier Division Central side Hednesford Town on a permanent deal in June 2018 from Basford`s league rivals Gainsborough Trinity.

The 22-year-old started his career as a junior at Burton Albion, coming through the Brewers' system and enjoying loan spells with Belper Town, Spalding United and Boston United.

He joined Gainsborough in May 2017 upon his release by the Brewers and had spells on loan with Coalville Town and the Pitmen.

Twenty-year-old goalkeeper Pierrepont joins Basford from East Midlands Counties League side Heanor Town on a three-year deal.

The 6' 3" Pierrepont is viewed as one of the best young prospects at his age in the East Midlands.

He represented Matlock Town's first team at 17, was involved at Chesterfield as a youngster and was most recently tracked by Sheffield Wednesday.

He kept eleven clean sheets for Heanor last season.

Basford manager Steve Chettle told the club`s website: “It has been a fantastic week for the football club; winning the Buildbase materials and planning for the extension for the clubhouse in order to provide a new facility for the community to use.

"We have been working hard to put in the next pieces to our jig-saw and getting the players that we have been looking at for some time. We welcome Charlie and Jordan to Basford and will hopefully be able to integrate them into the squad for pre-season training at the end of the month if Government guidelines allow.

"Adding Charlie strengthens our defensive unit, and adding a goalkeeper gives us strength in depth in that position and someone to work hard with Kieran Preston and push him all the way through pre-season".
