Yesterday we confirmed our fourth summer signing with the addition of tricky winger Nash Connolly.
Connolly has featured on the opposing side against Pontefract on a number of occasions, whilst turning our for local rivals Ossett United and previously with Hemsworth MW.
Now at Pontefract we caught up with Nash to discuss his moveβ¦
Welcome to the club Nash, firstly tell us how pleased you are to be joining The Colls?
Yeah Iβm over the moon to be signing for Pontefract. Youβve seen with the quality of signings already made, adding to the lads who are staying the ambition of the club and what we want to achieve this season. Iβm buzzing to be a part of it.
You have been on the opposing side when visiting the Hunters Stadium over the years, whatβs it going to be like wearing a Colls shirt this time round?
Having played against Ponte in the NCEL Division One, Premier & Northern Premier League I know first hand itβs never an easy place to play as an opposition. Itβll be good to be on the other side of that, helping the lads achieve what we set out to.
Having played at this level over a couple of spells, what will you bring to the squad?
Iβm a very direct player, I like to use my pace get at full backs and get balls in the box. Iβm a very honest lad so Iβll always give 100% graft to help the boys out.
Finally, what message do you have for your new fans?
I canβt wait to meet the fans and Iβve no doubt weβll have a successful season with them all being the 12th man and backing the lads home & away! UTC
