Vastly experienced striker Aaron Burns (pictured) joins from NPL Premier Division side Nantwich Town.

 

The 33-year-old signed for the sadly now defunct Droylsden in the summer of 2019 and then switched to North West Counties League outfit Northwich Victoria in November 2019 before joining NPL Premier side Nantwich on dual-registration in February 2020.

 

He started his career as a trainee with Manchester United, spending ten years at the Premiership club and getting to within a hairsbreadth of the first team, but getting a bad injury that halted his progress.

 

After this, he moved into non-League football, starting with FC United of Manchester and scoring 8 in 14 appearances between 2007 and 2008.

 

From there he moved to Northwich, with a spell on loan at Droylsden. Short spells at Altrincham and Connah`s Quay Nomads followed before he linked up with Ashton United and then Nantwich, scoring 100 goals for these two clubs over 4 seasons.

 

In 2014 he left Nantwich for a short spell at Marine AFC but quickly returned to Nantwich.

 

In 2015, he joined Chorley before returning to Ashton United.

 

In 2016, he signed for Trafford where he continued his prolific form before pitching up at Stalybridge Celtic in 2017 but after just two months in a Celtic shirt, he re-joined Trafford and then signed for Radcliffe in 2018.

 

Ollie Martin is a goalkeeper who joined NPL Premier Division side Radcliffe FC in the summer of 2018 from New Mills and then switched to league rivals FC United of Manchester in May 2020.

 

He began his playing days as a junior at Manchester City between the ages of 13-16 and later had a two-year scholarship at Fleetwood Town where he was on the bench for one first-team match.

 

Since moving to non-League football, he has had spells at Stalybridge Celtic, Mossley AFC and two at New Mills as well a spell in Sweden at division two north Ange IF.

 

Danny O`Brien is a 24-year-old midfielder who joins from league rivals Clitheroe, for whom he had signed for in May 2020 from Curzon Ashton.

 

He had been with the Nash for a year after arriving from Vanarama National League North rivals Alfreton Town but then moved to NPL neighbours Hyde United in August 2019 and then onto league rivals Atherton Collieries two months later. He had joined Alfreton in December 2018.

 

After starting his career at Aston Villa, where he earned England under-17 caps, he joined Wigan Athletic where he regularly featured for their development side.

 

Loan spells at Wrexham and Chester followed in 2015 before making his senior debut for Wigan in August 2016.

 

A return to Chester for a second loan spell came in January 2017 before he moved abroad to Finland after being recalled and released by Wigan.

 

Spells at Nårpes Kraft FF, who play in the Kakkonen, Finnish football’s second tier in February 2018 and Veikkausliiga side SJK Seinäjoki, initially joining their under-23 side before moving into the first team.
