Bromsgrove Sporting, Sat 3rd Oct, 3:00PM (H)
We are delighted to announce the signing of attacker Gavin Massey.
The 32-year-old joins the Shakers after leaving AFC Fylde in the summer and brings over 400 EFL appearances to Gigg Lane.
He started out at Watford, making various loan moves until he left in 2012 to sign permanently for Colchester United, after a loan move in the previous season.
Massey then moved from Essex to London, where he spent a season at Leyton Orient before a move to Wigan in 2017, where he went on to make over 150 appearances in five seasons.
Port Vale were his last club in the EFL, where he played for two seasons, until he joined AFC Fylde last summer.
He’s made seven appearances against the Shakers to date, most recently off the bench for Wigan in the 2017/18 season. His last start at Gigg Lane brought him a goal and an assist for Colchester United in a 5-2 defeat in February 2016.
Manager, Dave McNabb said:
“I’m really excited to get Gavin on board. Gavin is capable of playing anywhere across the top line. He’s direct, quick and has a real eye for goal. Gavin has a plethora of experience in the Football League and will bring brilliant leadership skills to the team. I’m sure Gavin will be a huge success this season and beyond.”
Massey will be available for selection for Saturday’s Isuzu FA Trophy tie against Wythenshawe Town.
You’ll be able to hear his first interview on the club’s YouTube channel very shortly.
