New Signings Speak

Speaking after his permanent signing from Gateshead, Adam Wrightson gave his thoughts on Blyth Spartans and the atmosphere in the squad at the moment.

"I'm very happy to be here. It's somewhere new and that brings a new challenge. There's no better place and obviously it's nice to be playing games.

"The atmosphere in the squad is fantastic, everyone is very upbeat. The results from other teams are going our way as well.

"I'd like to be scoring more goals to help the team, but it's about the club getting more points and getting the club higher."

Fellow new boy Shaun MacDonald also had his say on joining Blyth and his initial thoughts on the club.

"Personally, I'd like to get some games under my belt and prove myself. For the club, it's great to be looking at going up a league to then be testing ourselves against bigger teams who are full time. It's better for everyone involved with the club to be playing against clubs that may have a higher profile.

"The players have welcomed me; I already knew a few of the lads here so that has helped. I have family in Blyth and I know the area well so it doesn't feel like I've joined a new club."
