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.
