Kai Hancock in battle with Garforth’s Ryan Donoghue last season for Athersley in 2017
Nostell Miners Welfare have sensationally captured young Athersley Rec starlet Kai Hancock.
The signing, arguably the most profile one so far this summer in Division One, is sure to send shockwaves around the Division and underlines the view held by many that Nostell look capable of walking down the street paved with gold this season.
Hancock has a great reputation as a young striker and has scored lots of goals for Athersley and Ossett Town in the past two years – which in turn has attracted interest from higher level clubs.
Jason Dodsworth, Simon Houghton and their assistant Ryan Poskitt have now signed four new players – the others being Adam Hayton, goalkeeper Gary Stevens and Danny Critchlow.
