Nantwich Town are pleased to announce the signing of experienced goalkeeper Danny Roberts on a free transfer.
Danny is best known for his two spells at Leek Town, where he made a combined total of 238 appearances before his time there came to an end at the conclusion of last season.
He has also played for Witton Albion and Belper Town, and was at the Dabbers previously as a young second choice keeper in the final season under Steve Davis’ management.
This signing has been necessitated after Scott Moloney, who had played in every Nantwich game in goal since signing in the summer, fractured his wrist last weekend and will be missing for several weeks.
Manager Paul Carden said:
“Losing Scott is a blow as he’s been finding his feet, getting better with every game and has had standout moments with the penalty saves. It’s another impact injury which is so unfortunate but we seem to be having that bad luck at the moment.”
“Danny’s been a very good keeper at this level and at the league above as well. Leek wouldn’t have had him for as long as they did if he wasn’t capable so we’re really happy that he’s come onboard, he’ll bring experience to what is a young backline, he’s vocal and will give that steadiness that will help the lads. We had keepers offered to us that were young/loanees, but at this stage I feel we’ve got a really good goalkeeper in Danny.”
We all welcome Danny to the Dabbers as well as wishing Scott a speedy recovery.
