Bennett heads back to Shaw Lane

Evo Stik Division One South

Returning Duck Lee Bennett was outstanding for Shaw Lane during the 2015/16 season

Champions Shaw Lane AFC have lured Lee Bennett back to Barnsley as preparations for their inaugural Premier Division campaign begins.

The former Glasshoughton Welfare and Athersley Rec midfielder was outstanding for the Ducks during the 2015/16 campaign. He was very influential in a campaign that ended in the play off final defeat to Coalville Town.

He joined Buxton last summer, but suffered an injury-hit year.

Also signing is former Rotherham United winger Nicky Walker, who made two appearances in the Championship in 2013/14 for the Millers. He has since featured for Boston United.

Currently title-winning players Neil Austin, Alex Byrne and captain Ryan Qualter are re-signed for next season.
