CLAY CROSS' HIGH-RATED MIDFIELDER IS FIRST NEW SIGNING
RETFORD FC have completed their first signing of the new season with the arrival of the highly rated midfielder Ahmed Tahar from Clay Cross Town.
Part of the Clay Cross title winning side last season, the 26-year-old scored 26 goals in an almost ever present 46 games, including a goal against the Choughs in the 3-3 draw early last season.
He has plenty of experience having played at Worksop Town, AFC Mansfield, Parkgate FC and Carlton Town and knows many of the current Retford squad so should fit right in when pre-season training starts.
Manager Chris Woodhead said: “I'm so glad we got this over the line.
“There were several clubs in contact with Ahmed during the summer but he spoke to us, came and had a look around and signed that evening.
