Shildon AFC is delighted to confirm that we have re-signed Joe Posthill (subject to FA and League approval) for an undisclosed fee from Hebburn Town FC. Joe has signed a contract with the Club which will take him up to the end of 2026/27 season.
Joe, a fans favourite from his previous spell at the Club, was voted ‘Player of the Season’ in his last season with the Club before going on to play for Hebburn Town in the Northern Premier League.
Chris Hughes commented: “The Chairman has always said that if a player comes up that will improve the squad we should go for him so when we heard that Joe was available it was an easy decision. Joe brings a different dimension to our attacking play, is very direct and obviously possesses great technical ability. Most of all though he knows Shildon AFC and will enhance what is a great dressing room already. We are delighted to have him back and he will be integral to us achieving our ambitions this season. Thank you to the Board for backing us on this.”
Joe Posthill said “I’m absolutely delighted to be back at Shildon. It’s a club I know very well and a management team that suit me down to the ground. The trajectory of the club is massively on the up with the ground developments and I hope to contribute to what is an already very talented side!”
Welcome home Joe!!
