NEW SIGNING | WELCOME ALFIE ROBERTS TO THE ROBINS!
We're thrilled to announce the signing of 21-year-old goalkeeper Alfie Roberts on a dual registration with Heanor Town! Alfie is a vocal leader in goal, known for leading from the back, a great shot stopper with a massive kick!
About Alfie: - 21 years old - Experienced goalkeeper with Derby County - Was 3rd choice goalkeeper under Wayne Rooney - Local lad excited to join the Robins
Manager Ian Deakin's Thoughts: "Ian Deakin says, "At this moment he's been brought in to give competition for the number 1 shirt. Alfie's a good goalkeeper that has been on my radar a while. He's a huge pedigree with being at Derby County and I am delighted to see Alfie in an Ilkeston Town shirt." Join Us in Welcoming Alfie! Let's give Alfie a warm Robins welcome! We're looking forward to seeing him in action and competing for the number 1 spot. Welcome to the club, Alfie!

I thought we already had 2 keepers, a young lad singed from Harrogate. I take it Alfie is not first choice at Heanor?

Re: New signing - Alfie Roberts
mmmmm there must a method in the madness of having three (?) keepers ? We are struggling for a big F__K off striker but we get another keeper .. But who am i to say i get most things wrong ..lol
