BUDE Town have announced the signing of midfielder Mitch McCann from Frome Town.

Described as a combative, ball-playing midfielder, McCann will hope to fill the void created by the recent departure of last year’s Players’, Supporters’ and Club player of the season, Scott Piper, who has joined newly-promoted St Blazey in the Western League Premier Division.

McCann, who has had spells on the books of Yeovil Town and Torquay United, joined Frome towards the end of last season having made over 20 appearances for Cinderford Town.

The Seasiders get their pre-season underway next Saturday when they visit North Molton.
