Manor
Farm boss Lee Lashenko told his club`s website: “We were dominant in the Western
League and deserved to go up as champions. Over the past couple of seasons,
we’ve cemented that we are now a Southern League club.
“Our
current league position suggests that we are ready to move up another division,
and the signing of Jake Gosling proves our intentions for the rest of the
season.
“I
want to thank Owen Howe for helping us bring Jake to the club. People
questioned Owen’s decision to re-join Bristol Manor Farm in the summer, and
this proves his desire to help push our historic club forward.
“We’re
a hair’s breadth away from our most successful season in our history, and the
signing of Jake Gosling shows exactly what we’re trying to do at this football
club”. |
