BUDE Town Football Club have announced the signings of Wadebridge Town’s Nathan Bonney, Holsworthy’s Paul Banks and Halwill’s Jason Winser ahead of the new season.

Last year was a tough one for Bude as they sat bottom for most of the campaign, however six wins from their last ten games ensured they will be playing in Division One (West) of the Carlsberg South West Peninsula League once more in 2018/19.

Manager, Ryan Leverton, was delighted to get the deals over the line.

He said: “All three are players who will had quality on the pitch and be great squad members off of it.

“Nath has long been a player we have been keen to get on board and signing up such a proven goalscorer illustrates our intent to continue our fantastic end to last season.

“Scoring goals was one of the main areas we needed to improve upon and Nath’s arrival from Wadebridge will certainly give us extra firepower.

“We are also delighted to have Paul Banks on board for the upcoming season. Banksy is a versatile midfielder who was one of the standout players when we faced Holsworthy in both games last year. Banksy has plenty of experience of Peninsula League football and having him involved will also be key in helping the club move forward while Jase is a player who came through the ranks at Bude Town and has helped the first team out on occasions over the past couple of years. We’re really pleased he is coming on board full time this year.

“Jase is a combative midfielder who has an excellent range of passing and will be another huge asset for the team as we continue to move forward.”

With such a positive end to last season and fantastic atmosphere at Broadclose Park during the England World Cup games, these signings add more enthusiasm for the beginning of the new season which kicks off with a visit from Dobwalls on Saturday, August 18 (3pm).

Pre-season is already underway with any interested players asked to visit the club Facebook page at ‘Bude FC’.
