The former Farsley Celtic, Thackley, Brighouse Town and Frickley Athletic star was signed from Eccleshill United in July, but is currently recuperating from an operation.
“Hopefully another month (before he’s ready) and he’s hopefully coming down Saturday to watch,” Stansfield said.
“He had a knee operation in June and he’s on the bike working really hard. The swelling has gone down. It will be great when we have him available.
“(Current Knaresborough assistant) Paul (Clayton) was his assistant manager at Thackley so I’ve heard a lot about him when he was there
“He then scored a load of goals for Handsworth and then got a lot of goals for Frickley.”
