NEW SIGNING: PADDY WEBB
BY MARC WILLIAMS  39 MINUTES AGO 

Striker makes the move from Derbyshire...Basford United have completed the signing of Paddy Webb from Ilkeston Town. The forward, 23, joined the Robins from Mickleover back in August following a prolific spell at Eastwood Community, where he is the all-time appearance maker and goal scorer – tallying an impressive total of 121 – since their re-form in 2014. He has played at junior level for both Derby County and Mansfield Town, as well as stints at Nottingham Forest’s academy. Webb arrives at Greenwich Avenue after fellow new signings Kieran Wells, Mitchell Tait and Sean Devlin and will be available for Monday’s trip to former side Mickleover in the Northern Premier League.

“I’m really pleased to have signed for Basford and it couldn’t have come at a better time,” he said. “I’ve grown up in the area which makes this move even better – I’m buzzing to get going!  “When I heard the gaffer was interested and I spoke to him, I didn’t have to give it a second thought. I couldn’t turn down a chance to sign here, especially with how well the club have done in recent years. “What a day Monday will be. However, taking 3 points home is all I’m interested in. Whoever the opposition is, there is always a job to be getting on with a point to prove.” 

On capturing his signature, boss Steve Chettle added: “I’ve known Paddy since he was 9 and have followed his development at Eastwood, Mickleover and Ilkeston, which has been excellent.“He’s an athletic striker who is eager to improve and progress at this level - we’re delighted to have him join us at Basford United.”

I'm starting to dislike Basford. I appreciate that Webb wasn't getting regular game time but I rated him.
I'm still upset about Mitchell Tait going there.
