Ryan Catterick made his debut for Ashington in their NPL East Division clash against Consett at Woodhorn Lane on Saturday.
And afterwards, the 25 year old goalkeeper revealed that he was delighted with the way he had settled in and thought his side should have taken all three points: “I enjoyed it and I thought I played well,” he said afterwards, “The lads dug in and defended solidly. It was scrappy all over the park and we just needed someone to get a foothold on things. Consett created a few more chances and I had a few more saves to make but whilst we could have created a bit more and been more of a threat, overall I thought we did enough to get the win. However it’s back to the drawing board and we move on.”
Middlesbrough-born Catterick – who is based in Shildon – continued: “It was the first time I’ve played at this ground for a while and it was just about getting out there because I hadn’t had a game for six weeks – but I felt fine.”
