The Bull Returns

Blyth Spartans can announce the signing of former striker John Alexander following his release from Spennymoor Town.

The 25 year old, known as 'The Bull' played for the Spartans for the previous two seasons, scoring 6 times in 56 games.

Manager Steve Cuggy commented "We have had some injuries to Lee Mason, Phil Bannister and Glen Taylor and this has left a heavy load on the shoulders of Graeme Armstrong, we are hoping that the signing of John will relieve some of this pressure on Graeme and let him get into some more dangerous positions."

"John comes with two years of Blue Square North experience which will prove handy, he trained with the lads tonight and did well. He is delighted to be back at Croft Park and told me he has been 'buzzing' since he got the call."

Welcome back John!
