Shay Richardson becomes the latest addition at Croft Park
Monday, 18 November 2024
Blyth Spartans can confirm that Shay Richardson has joined the club from Heaton Stannington.
Richardson joined Stan on September 13, 2024, from Consett AFC where he joined in the summer just gone.
The 28-year-old previously had spent two seasons prior in the Northern League with Whickham before his move to NPL Division One East side Consett.
The midfielder has played 14 times for Heaton Stannington and three times for Consett this season, scoring once in his most recent game in the Northumberland Senior Cup against Blyth Town.
On his arrival, Michael Connor said:
He's another signing coming from the league below, he has bags of energy, wins headers all over the park, he wears his heart in his sleeve and wins big tackles. He is probably somebody that we need with a bit of legs in there.
On signing for for Spartans Shay said
I'm really looking forwards to getting going at Blyth, Its a really big club and hopefully I can play a part in getting the club back up the league
Welcome to Blyth, Shay!
