Transfer Listed : Brad Hird

Brad Hird has asked to be placed on the transfer list which we have reluctantly agreed to as he wants more game time next season.

Signed from Durham in March 2018, Brad has made 41 appearances scoring 7 goals.

Brad is a contracted player and in the first instance could enquiries be directed to Martin Gray.

We wish Brad all the best in his future career.

New Signings for the 2019/20 Season

We are delighted to announce that Danny Craggs & Jordan Lavery have both signed for the club for the 2019/20 Season.

Central Midfielder Danny brings a wealth of experience signing from Consett. Last season he scored 21 goals from 46 appearances. Danny also won the FA Vase while at Dunston.

Jordan is a strong tackling left sided player and a good passer of the ball, previously with Sunderland RCA & Consett

Shildon AFC Manager speaking to the website said “The signings of Danny and Jordan will add experience and guile to a relatively young squad that finished the season well.

Danny is a player that I’ve played with and against and always admired his quality, attitude and professionalism, his desire to win trophies and the want for a new challenge is a great match with the club.

Jordan is a hungry lad with great quality and is one of the best left sided defenders in the league who wants to challenge himself and play as high as possible which is why he has taken on the task to help get the club promoted. “

Welcome to the Club Jordan & Danny

Russell Henderson, Shildon AFC supporter’s club representative said: “what a night to remember! I’ve followed Shildon since the 70’s and its moments like these where the whole community is united that you really remember. The club have seen lots of changes over this last six months and they are really starting to pay off”

Included in the supporters were Joseph Brunson and Luke Thompson who won family tickets to the final at the recent Easter activities club held at Dean Street, Shildon.  The two boys enjoyed free transport to the match with their families as well as witnessing what proved to be a great end to the season for Shildon AFC.

David Dent, chairman of Shildon AFC said : “ We are understandably over the moon with our win, in what we think is one the most important competitions in the region. But what we are really humbled by is the huge community support we received in the run up until the final, and on the night itself. He went onto add: “Preparations are already underway for 2019/20 season and we are looking forward to that continued support in what is going to be an exciting year ahead, both on and off the pitch”
