Kyle Errington said he is delighted to rejoin Ashington – after he signed for the Woodhorn Lane club from Ebac Northern League side Whickham at the start of last week.

South Shields-born Errington – a student at University who also works as a strength and conditioning coach – made his second debut as the Colliers secured a 0-0 draw against Carlton Town then featured in the 3-2 win over Bridlington Town on Saturday.

“Coming back to Ashington was something which I wanted to do,” said the 22 year old, “I know Nick (Gray) and Liam (McIvor) well and I wanted to get back to enjoying my football. I did that at Ashington last year and my plan is to enjoy playing for Nick and Liam. I get on with all the lads, it’s a good changing room and I’m delighted and happy to be back. On Saturday against Bridlington we conceded two sloppy goals but Josh Gilchrist did really well scoring a hat-trick. I thought we played well as a team – especially in the second half where we grinded it out.”

Manager Gray said: “I had Kyle at Park View Academy and he’s another honest hard working lad who gives his all. He’s a good defender who comes from a great background.”
