Witton Albion Football Club are pleased to announce the signing of 23 year old midfielder Ollie McDonough from Winsford United. Ollie made 37 appearances for Winsford last season, scoring four goals. I might be wrong but I seem to remember him playing for Witton Albion Academy as a teenager around the same time as Owen Wynne.
