Ben Garratt signs 2-year contract to remain with Dabbers

Nantwich Town are delighted to announce that goalkeeper Ben Garratt has signed a 2-year contract to remain with the Dabbers.

The vastly experienced EFL keeper with Crewe Alex and Burton joined Nantwich in February and has made 9 appearances so far, all being well up to 10 after Saturday’s final game at Widnes.

He has won 6 of his 9 games so far and kept 3 clean sheets, and has proved a calm and composed presence between the posts.

Manager Paul Carden said:

“When you get a chance to sign a player of his calibre, at the age he’s at as well for a goalkeeper, you’ve got to do what you can to make it happen. Then, when he’s in the building you’ve got to do what you can to keep him. He’s really enjoyed it, I spoke to him last week and it was a really easy 5-minute conversation because of how much he’s enjoyed it and how much he and his family likes the club and how he’s in a really good place all round.

His performances have been superb and I think he’s really settled in. It’s one of those positions that once you have someone who’s reliable like Ben you can almost forget about them because you know they’re dependable and what their standards and ability levels are and he’s all of the above.”
