Central Midlands League
A top Toolstation NCEL Premier Division defender has signed for ambitious Dearne & District.
Maltby Main’s player of the year and last season’s captain Joe Austin has dropped two Divisions to play for Keelan Hall’s side.
It is quite an impressive capture by Dearne as Austin has consistently been a rock for Maltby at Step 5.
Handsworth were also interested in him and he was a second half substitute for them in their pre-season friendly against Chesterfield under 21s.
Austin follows a host of interesting signings made by Dearne, including Nick Guest and Carlton Carty.
Dearne visit Athersley Rec on Saturday.
