Frickley have signed Gateshead defender Danny Burns on loan
Frickley Athletic have secured tall Gateshead youngster Danny Burns on loan for the rest of the season.
Burns is 21 and is a centre back, standing at 6’5. He was a scholar and first year pro at Cambridge United before joining Buxton at the start of last season. He was bought by Gateshead who loaned him back to Buxton for the season.
This year he has completed loan spells at Buxton and National North side Blyth Spartans.
Spencer Fearn said: “This is a great signing for us. I got to know Danny a couple of seasons ago when he came training with Maltby Main to keep his fitness up when he was looking for a new club after leaving Cambridge United and we have followed his progress closely since.
“He’s a good player and a great lad, he will certainly add more strength and depth to our squad. Our thanks to Steve Watson and Mike Coulson at Gateshead for arranging this so quickly.”
