Scott Completes Summer Recruitment

Grant Joshua has moved to bring in full back Nathan Scott for his final signing of pre-season.

25-year-old Scott reunites with manager Grant Joshua having previously played under him during Lye Town's promotion-winning campaign in 2022/23.

The right-sided player began his senior career with AFC Wulfrunians before spells with Stafford Town and Lye, where he scored five goals during a memorable promotion season.

More recently, he has returned to action with Wolverhampton Casuals following a lengthy spell on the sidelines through injury.

Manager Grant Joshua admitted Scott is a player he has wanted to work with again for some time: "I’m personally highly motivated by this signing of Nathan.

"I tracked Nath for years at youth level, I have an excellent relationship with the family and I finally got to work with him at Lye Town where he was pivotal to our promotion season alongside a few others.

"He’s suffered with tendinitis of the knee since that play-off final at St Neots. Otherwise, he would have been the first player I signed at Coleshill and Rugby."

Joshua believes Nathan's best years remain ahead of him. “The lad’s had it tough with how much ability and speed he possesses due to that injury. The bonus is that it wasn’t a break or ligament injury and he’s almost coming back as fresh as physically possible."

The Town boss has been encouraged by Scott's return to action over recent months: "Nathan played the last 15 or 16 games of last season and is well and truly back on track. I had such positive reports on his performances.

"If he hits the ground running and reaches the levels I know he can pretty rapidly, this football club has a special talent on its hands.

"He's a good age and it's not something I could turn down when it became a possibility."

Joshua also confirmed that Scott's arrival concludes the club's planned summer recruitment: "This concludes our summer business unless something exceptional comes across my desk that we can't turn down.

"I'm delighted with our summer recruitment. To be finished at the start of June is impressive from all involved. We now know what we have in the building and we work with them to achieve our goals this season."
