After Sacking everyone after the season ending Wilkie set out looking for a staff capable of taking this squad to the top and that he has , sitting top of every category.
Rahis is a former West Brom and Burnley player who has dropped down to the National North and will be our starting Deep Lying playmaker considering the club has had no central midfielders at the club he looks to be quite a coup.
Yvan is a former Manchester City and Bolton Wanderers youth product , he is cabable of playing across the full back four and will be coming off the bench when required.
James Thorne
