Trio return to the Nomads

Saturday 04 July 2009

THREE former Nomads have returned to Deeside to play for new Gap Connah's manager Jim Hackett. Sam McNutt signed for the club in January 2008 after previous experience at Prescot Cables, Congleton Town, Vauxhall Motors and Southport. After missing pre-season with injury, went out on loan in September 2008 and made a permanent move to Holker Old Boys the following January after scoring four goals from 13 Welsh Premier appearances. Central midfielder Alan Hooley was signed by Newtown from West Cheshire Leaguers Christleton FC but, after two seasons at Latham Park, the Chester-born midfielder rejoined Airbus, for whom he played in the Cymru Alliance before their elevation to the Welsh Premier. He made the short move across to Connah's Quay in January 2008 but was released a year later and joined Flint Town United after clocking-up 58 league starts. Also returning from Flint is striker Chris Herbert (pictured), a former Chester City youth and prolific scorer with West Cheshire League outfit Christleton, who first linked-up with Nomads in August 2007 and scored five goals from 14(+14) WPL appearances.
