Stalybridge Celtic

It was one in and one out at Celtic this week. Going is Jody Banim who gave full time football a go, but found it hard going, and so asked to leave. With Droylsden already having put in seven days notice for him, it is expected he will hook back up with his former club in the next couple of days.

Coming in, is Dennis Sheriff. Dennis has been something of a goal machine. He came through the youth ranks at Rochdale, even making the bench for a Carling cup game, but was the top scorer for the reserves in 2009, before joining Woodley Sports last season. He continued to find the net, notching over forty goals last season for them.
