Evo Stik Premier Division
Farsley Celtic manager Adam Lakeland with Jimmy Pollard
Farsley Celtic have signed two more young stars from Division One North side Brighouse Town.
Defender Jimmy Pollard and right-back Kurt Harris are reunited with Luke Parkin and Ben Atkinson, who made the move across West Yorkshire earlier this week.
On Pollard, Adam Lakeland said: “Jimmy has been one of Brighouse Town’s standout performers for the past couple of seasons following his departure from Bradford City.
“He is a centre back who likes to attack the ball, but is equally comfortable in possession and distributing from the back which fits in with our philosophy.”
On Harris, Lakeland added: “Kurt is an athletic young right back with great energy to get up and down the pitch. He has had a couple of very good seasons at Brighouse Town and in my opinion will easily make the transition to the Premier Division.”
Despite losing a few players, Farsley’s team looks strong as the likes of James Walshaw, Graeme McKibbin, Lewis Nightingale, Danny Ellis and Jordan Deacey are also signed on.
Was a touch concerned at the ones ‘not staying’ at Throstle Nest, but (genuinely) no disrespect, but the ones remaining are the spine/core of the team. 2 new younger, taller fullbacks, and a proper centre half or 2 . Sav did a good job for us filling in, but better he go play up front elsewhere regularly for his sake.
Celts are looking good/strong again for 2017-18
