Neil Tattersall, Saturday first team manager has beaten several teams to sign former Sunday player, Paul Sheridan in time for the forthcoming season.

With last season's goalkeeper, Niall O'Shea being limited with work commitments, it was imperative that the Club obtained the services of a top keeper.

Tattersall said "It is good news for the Club that we have managed to sign Paul. He is an experienced goalkeeper with an excellent pedigree having played with several top clubs including Barton Rovers. He shows all the qualities needed if we are to compete at the highest level we can - strong in the air, a good communicator with his defence plus a good shot stopper. He will be an excellent addition to the team which includes many youngsters.'

Pau has also played in the National Sunday Cup for another local side and has appeared in the Club's colours a few seasons ago

Paul (whose father John was club physiotherapist at both Luton Town and Tottenham Hotspur) has just passed his level 1 coaching course held at the Club and is now ready for his level 1 speciaist goalkeeping badge before sitting his level 2. He intends to offer his services to the Club in this specialist role.

Another fine capture was that of James Potter. James, who started his career at Crawley was happy to put pen to paper followingsuccessful spells at Dunstable Town FC and Hitchin Town.

James (above) decided to come back to his roots now he has a youngster of his own citing the long travelling required of players higher up the football pyramid. He says 'With the superb facilities at Crawley, plus the long travelling required when playing for Dunstable it was an easy choice to re-sign for the Club especially as I can now see more of my young girl on a Saturday as we still live near the Club.

Potter plays just behind the main striker, a scorer of astute ability and has a deft touch in front of goal.
