New Signings At Bacup Borough
Sun 22nd November 2009 | Bacup Borough | By Ian Templeman
Bacup Borough Manager Brent Peters has swooped to make the first of several expected new signings on the back of his side's disappointing exit from the FA Vase.
Peters has signed AFC Fylde's FA Vase winning captain, defender Dougie Shaw, following Dougie's announcement that he was quitting the successful Fylde coast club after eleven loyal years of service.
The 31 year old defender cited the travelling, along with the demands of running his own business, following Fylde's promotion into the Unibond League as his reasons for quitting Kellamergh Park. Shaw commented:  "I am looking forward to my new challenge and I just want to get back to enjoying my football again".
Brent Peters said: "When I heard about Dougie's situation I had to move fast. Not only is Dougie an excellent defender, he is very much a proven leader of men having captained a successful AFC Fylde team for several years.
"While I have an excellent captain in Davey Luker, no team can have enough leaders. With Dougie now on board, we have not only got a good experienced defender who is comfortable with the ball, but also another leader and a proven winner, and that is important."
Meanwhile, Brent has also successfully rushed through a United States of America International Clearance for defender Dominic Stockdale. Dominic, who resides in Heywood, has been playing his football out in the states on a USA Scholarship.
Brent said: "Having seen Dominic play, although in a training arena due to not having had clearance, the lad has impressed me. Now we have obtained his clearance, when he gets the chance then hopefully he will prove to us that he does have all the attributes to go and perform in an arena where results matter. If he achieves this, then Dominic will be another positive addition to the squad."
