Chris Salmon has joined from league rivals Bishop Auckland.

The former Gateshead, York City and Whitley Bay youngster spent last season with the Two Blues, where he suffered an injury which ruled him out of contention for the remainder of that season.

He is a versatile addition to the club as the winger is also able to play in defence and has even been known to start up front on occasion.

Meanwhile, Denver Morris (pictured) has re-joined the club.

Since leaving the Robins in 2017, Morris has spent time playing for Morpeth Town, West Auckland Town and most recently Bishop Auckland, who he joined at the beginning of this current season.

During his first spell with the club, Morris very quickly became a fan favourite, with his versatility and strength causing opposing defenders all sorts of problems.

Before he left the Robins in 2017, he made a total of 72 appearances, scoring 17 goals.

Fans fondly remember his man of the match performance in the 2015 Buildbase FA Vase Final against Glossop North End, where he set up Adam Forster’s winning goal at Wembley which saw the club triumph 2-1.
