The defender arrives from fellow NCEL Premier Division side Liversedge, having been part of one of last season's toughest outfits.
Marsden
has 85 Bulls appearances to his name over a two-season spell under Rudy Funk
and Mark Ward, helping AFC win promotion to the Northern Premier League and a
place in the NCEL League Cup final in the 2017/18 campaign.
Having
spent the past year in West Yorkshire, he said he felt it was the right time to
come back to the club.
Marsden
told https://www.afcmansfield.net: "I'm really
pleased to be back.
"I
really enjoyed my year at Liversedge but the travelling was just too much for
me, so when the chairman got in contact about returning to the club it was
something that suited me and I couldn’t turn down.
"I'm
really looking forward to getting going, it's been a long time since my last
game so I can't wait to just get back out on the pitch."
Marsden
follows the earlier capture of forward Matt Sykes.
The
28-year-old signs a one-year deal at the Forest Town Arena with promotion
experience under his belt from his time at Northern Premier League Division One
South East side Worksop Town.
Sykes
scored 32 goals in all competitions for the Tigers in 2018/19, securing the
NCEL Premier Division and League Cup titles in a memorable campaign for the
club.
After
leaving Worksop to play closer to home, he then spent the 2019/20 season at
AFC's Premier Division rivals Yorkshire Amateur, scoring 9 in 18 appearances
before eventually making the move to Forest Town.
The
forward, who also had a brief spell in Forest Town during the summer of 2017,
said AFC's ambition was what convinced him to turn down other clubs and sign on
with the Bulls. |
