BREAKING | Pritchard makes Blues move

Chester FC have confirmed the signing of left-back John Pritchard from Ashton United.

Pritchard, 22, makes the move to the Swansway Chester Stadium after playing his part in Ashton United’s promotion winning campaign last season, along with fellow new Blue Dom Smalley.

In his first season with the Robins, the midfielder won the Goal of the Season award for his speculative 30-yard strike at Warrington Town, and is known for his prowess from dead ball situations.

Formerly of Ramsbottom United and Northwich Victoria, he becomes Morley and Johnson’s first capture of the day.

Welcome to Chester FC, John!
