Basford have pulled off a couple of major coups this week as the signatures of Jake Want and Willis Francis have been added to the current group. Jake Want is a hot property young goalkeeper who joins from Radford still only 19 Jake has all the ingredients to be a superb keeper and will complete with 2 other very good keepers for Basford. With a recent injury to Curtis and Andy Fretwell, whilst looked excellent in preseason he too is still being hampered by an ankle problem.
A further real signing of intent is that of regular Arnold midfielder Willis Francis.Willis is top quality and even though has only attended the last two sessions for the club it was pretty clear what he has too offer. A former Notts County youngster the player has also performed at a high level on the non league circuit and last season was at Arnold Town.
Welcome to both and both should feature in Saturdays opening preseason friendly as former CML south colleagues Pinxton come to Basford for a 3pm kick off.
