NPL Division One East 

James Walshaw has left Ossett United

Club favourite James Walshaw’s time with Ossett United is over, the club have confirmed.

Legendary striker Walshaw returned to Ossett last summer after many years away.

He continued to score plenty of goals and even stood in as caretaker manager after Wayne Benn’s departure.

Defender Dec McGivern also leaves Ingfield.

Ossett say both were offered new deals, but have decided to move on.

The club added they “wish them the best of luck going forward”.

Jack Cowgill, the Ossett United captain,

Club captain Jack Cowgill is staying with Ossett for a third season.

The former Barnsley defender has turned down offers from clubs higher up the pyramid.

Manager Jas Colliver said: “We are delighted to retain the skipper, he played the back end of last season about 60% fit and had a difficult year with injuries and playing through them before fully healed. 

“We are confident Jack can now kick on and reach his full potential. He loves the club and fans and is looking forward to an exciting season ahead.”
