Goalkeeper Hill Rejoins Rugby Ranks

Goalkeeper Matt Hill has rejoined Rugby Town from Hinckley after a two-year absence.

The 24-year-old goalkeeper has signed a one-year contract with Valley where he made 77 appearances in his first spell with the club between 2018 and 2020, keeping 25 clean sheets.

Since leaving Butlin Road in 2020, Hill has enjoyed a spell with Hinckley in the UCL Division One where they were eventually a whisker away from promotion to the Premier Division.

Matt originally joined Rugby for his first spell in 2018 and the goalkeeper had an impressive couple of seasons with the club after signing from Rushall Olympic before the enforced Covid suspension in March 2020.

Matt however lost his place to new signing Sam Lomax at the start of the 2020/21 season and left to join Hinckley.

Hill graduated from the Solihull Moors youth team and has also had spells with Bolehall Swifts, Leamington, St Ives Town, Bedford Town and Rushall Olympic.

Matt joins Valley's other nine-strong contingent of contract signees Edwin Ahenkorah, Ash Bodycote, Caine Elliott, Luke English, Barry Fitzharris, David Kolodynski, Keenah Rosser, MJ Semahimbo and Dan Summerfield in agreeing deals for the 2022/23 season.
