McLaughlin is no stranger to Seel Park as he established himself as a fans’ favourite in his previous spell at the club when he made 49 appearances.

He originally signed in 2016 from local Huddersfield League side Diggle FC having scored 22 goals in just 17 appearances.

Following his first spell with the Lilywhites, he went on to play for West Didsbury & Chorlton, Chadderton and New Mills.

Fitzgerald is a young forward who re-joins from NPL Division One South East side Glossop North End.

The 18-year-old originally signed for Mossley after some impressive performances for the under-21 development and academy teams.

He was the first of the club's full-time academy students to make his first-team debut. And he scored a last-minute winning goal on his first senior appearance against Prescot Cables.

He moved to Glossop in March 2020.

Midfielder Kershaw, 19, joins the Lilywhites having finished last season with Longridge Town in the North West Counties Premier Division.

Oldham-born Kershaw started his career at the Burnley academy, spending ten years at Turf Moor.

He then enjoyed a superb spell at Barnoldswick Town where he played an instrumental role, picking up no less than nine man of the match awards in 43 appearances.

Defender Jack O’Leary (pictured), 22, made 9 appearances last season for NPL Premier Division side Stalybridge Celtic before joining Glossop in January 2020.

The left-sided defender signed for Celtic in August 2019.

He made 8 appearances for National League North neighbours Curzon Ashton in the 2018/19 season, including playing a major part in their Manchester Premier Cup final win, when they beat Mossley.

He joined Celtic, initially on dual-registration after signing on dual registration with Glossop last season.

He’s no stranger to Mossley`s new management team of David Fish and Lee Ashworth, having played for them at Chadderton as a youngster.
