Stocksbridge Park Steels will face the man who they sold Jamie Vardy to, in the first round proper of the FA Trophy.

It is another away tie for Stocksbridge and they will make the journey up to National League Premier Gateshead, who appointed Neil Aspin as their new manager last week.

Aspin was the FC Halifax Town manager when they bought Vardy for a five-figure fee.

The Steels have already seen off Clitheroe, Northwich Victoria, Ilkeston and the holders North Ferriby in the Trophy this season.

FC Halifax Town will host Tamworth in the next round, while the reward for the winners of Bradford (Park Avenue) and Buxton is a home tie against Lincoln City.

The matches will take place Saturday 12th December.
