Is he not bound by the rules regarding number of clubs in a season?? Hasn’t he played for 3 or 4 different teams now this season?

Upon checking my records I now have Ben Jones playing at 16 different clubs, as he’s also been known as Kingsley Jones it is possible I may have missed one or two!

Several other ex Witton players on the move recently:-

Richard Mottram & Gavin Salmon - both at Leigh RMI

Andy Thomas & Kevin Towey - both at Warrington Town

John Dillon - signed for Ashton United

Jamie Mottershead has also signed for Woodley Sports

I’ve also seen somewhere that Winsford United & Danny Webster’s names linked - anyone confirm?

Plus of course the "mighty" Geoff Horsfield now on loan from Sheff Utd and playing for Scunthorpe Utd.

Just read in the Crewe Chronicle, that Dorryl Proffitt is out for the season after suffering a broken metatarsal.  
Some good news is that Nicky Maynard got a goal for Crewe against Leeds Utd:)

Shame to hear that news regarding Dorryl, the lad did a good job for us at the start of the season and whilst perhaps not to the level of our current strikers I thought he put a fair bit of effort into working his way in the team.

There will forever be a shrine to the Dozzler in the Albion Arms!!!

Maybe I should start a new thread under ‘Ben Jones’ as he has now left wherever he’s just been and has gone to Harrogate Railway.
