Having
enjoyed a two-month loan spell with Boro last season, the tough-tackling
defender is back at the Easy As HGV Stadium, and this time on a permanent
basis.
In
his short time at the club, the youngster helped Farnborough to eight wins and
four clean sheets throughout October and November last year, before his loan
was cut short by his parent club exercising a recall clause.
At
the beginning of the 2021/22 season, Saunders graduated from The Shots’ academy
and earned a place in the first team squad, going on to make 16 appearances in non-League’s
top-flight.
He
departed Aldershot after deciding to put full-time football on hold to address
mental health issues he had been suffering with.
Manager
Spencer Day told https://farnboroughfc.co.uk:
“We are all delighted to welcome back Alfie!
“Of
course, he’s known to us, and I’m thrilled he was willing to return. Thank you
to all at Tadley Calleva, especially Joint-Manager Ben Dillon who has really
helped Alfie and we look forward to Alfie joining our squad”. |
