Goalkeeper Ross Coombe says he is looking forward to enjoying his football again after signing for Ashington last week.

The 24 year old who has also worn the number one jersey at South Shields, West Auckland and Consett, said:  “I’m looking forward to enjoying my football again. After the end of every campaign, I keep myself fit and always enjoy pre season. This year it will be different as I get to know my new team mates and at Ashington, it’s nice to hear about a club that have ambitions to go higher.”

Ashington boss Ian Skinner said: “We monitored Ross for a little while. Being with Consett last season, he played for a team who are in the league we have just joined so he has got some experience. He was very enthusiastic and really keen and I’m delighted to have him on board.”
