SAM McNUTT – Mid-field – 16/11/79

Sam signed for Nomads in January 2008 and after 14 appearances and 4 goals last season, his close control and pace quickly established him as a firm favourite with the Nomads supporters. Sam is an exciting player to watch and is at his best when attacking defences at pace down the flanks.

DANNY FORDE – Mid-field - 08/01/1986

Born in Salford, Danny joined Barrow after being released by Oldham Athletic and he also played for Mossley and Ashton United before joining Nomads in January 2008.

His decision to remain with Nomads for this season is indeed, good news.
