Corby Town improve defence with Spencer Edwards capture

26 Jun 2024 By James Gordon

Corby Town have announced the signing of centre-back Spencer Edwards from fellow NPL Midlands Division side Hinckley LRFC.

Edwards played a key role for Hinckley last season, featuring 42 times as they reached the play-off semi-finals before falling to eventual play-off winners Harborough Town, now of the Southern League.

Corby manager Gary Setchell believes that signing Edwards can help his side push further towards the play-off picture in the NPL Midlands Division following an eighth-placed finish last time around.

He said: “His experience at this level and defensive ability was a major part of Hinckley making the play-offs last season. He will be key as we aim for success this season.”

The newest Steelman expressed his delight at signing, saying: “I am happy to have joined the group. The club has a great set up and amazing support, and I look forward to getting started.”

Corby Town begin their pre-season schedule away at Wisbech Town on July 6.
