Hardwick heads to Ilkeston Town

Hardwick arrived at Stocksbridge at the start of the current season following a 12-goal season for Carlton Town in 2023/24.

He has continued his excellent Step 4 scoring form this season, netting 11 goals in all competitions for the club, including seven league goals.

Hardwick will provide even more fire power up top for an Ilkeston side who have already scored 35 as a team - the third-most of any side in the Northern Premier League. 

The Robins' new signing made his debut from the bench on Saturday, as Ian Deakin’s side won 1-0 away at Warrington Rylands.
