Emley Snap Up Redfearn
26th July, 2008
Veteran midfielder Neil Redfearn has signed for AFC Emley.
The 43-year-old midfielder is currently youth coach at York City but is going to play at the Welfare Ground when time allows for the Division One side.
It's a coup for Emley manager Ian Banks, who told the Huddersfield Daily Examiner: "His experience will be very useful, but I've been very happy with all the lads in pre-season training because their attitude has been superb."
Meanwhile AFC Emley are delighted with the financial 'lifeline' thrown to them by Huddersfield Town.
Tuesday's Welfare Ground friendly against Stan Ternent's League One squad attracted a crowd of 1,927 to boost their coffers.
Emley have reverted to their traditional claret and blue colours, with sponsorship from Holmfirth-based estate agents and valuers Wm.Sykes & Son.
