The Stocksbridge Park Steels forward tipped to be the next Jamie Vardy has joined FC United of Manchester.

Brodie Litchfield, who lives 200 yards away from Bracken Moor, leaves Steels supporters even more disappointed on the week talisman Joe Lumsden also quit for Tadcaster Albion.

Litchfield burst onto the scene at 16 after his performances for the first team and youth sides earned him a professional contract at Sheffield United.

That did not work out and following a brief spell at Mickleover Sports, he returned to Stocksbridge in October 2016. He then became a mainstay in Chris Hilton’s side.
