Matt, joins the Ambers having recently picked up the Supporter's Player of the Season award at local rivals Ilkeston Town, where he has made 88 appearances over two seasons at the New Manor Ground and became a fan favourite.

A former Derby County prospect, Matt also spent time at Gainsborough Trinity, where he continued to build his reputation as one of the top goalkeepers at this level.

Everyone at Basford United is thrilled to welcome him to Greenwich Avenue.

Head of Football, Martin Carruthers said:
"Matt is a massive signing for us. He’s been on my list of top goalkeepers for the past 3-4 years.

"I’ve had Saul, who’s always been brilliant for me, so when we asked him to name the best keeper out there and he picked Yates, that said it all.

"I’m surprised Ilkeston let him go, but that said it’s a huge signing and a big gain for us."

Welcome to Greenwich Avenue, Yatesey!
