Atherton Collieries are delighted to announce that striker Rhys Nevins is back for a second spell at the club.

The former Jamaican youth international joined Colls on a dual registration deal from Evo-Stik Premier Division side Ashton United last August. He made four appearances and scored in the victory against Barnton before returning to Hurst Cross.

He signs this time on a permanent basis and Michael Clegg is happy to add to his attacking options ahead of Sunday’s trip to Hallam FC in the FA Cup.

“Rhys is a great player. His season was cut short last year through injury. When he was with us last time A player he gelled with all the lads so quickly and was well liked by us all.”

“He is athletic, powerful and dynamic and he will bring a lot to the side.”
