NO NEED TO WHISPER IT SOFTLEY… LUKE'S A TOWN PLAYER!

Nuneaton Town are delighted to welcome centre-back Luke Softley to the club.

A graduate of the Aston Villa Academy, Luke has also represented Hungerford Town before moving to Step 3 side Bromsgrove Sporting, where he firmly established himself as a fans' favourite. Luke also picked up the Players' Player of the Season award last season.

He now joins the Town defensive ranks and links back up with former teammate Aaron Roberts, having played alongside him extensively last season.

Darren Acton said:

"Luke is a player that ticks all the boxes for us. He's played at a good level, has real leadership qualities and is someone who understands what it takes to be successful in a dressing room and on the pitch. As soon as we knew there was an opportunity to bring him to Nuneaton Town, we were keen to make it happen. He's a strong defender, excellent in both boxes and, just as importantly, a top character who will fit seamlessly into the group we've built here.

Having that existing partnership and understanding with Aaron Roberts is a huge bonus, and we're excited to see what they can achieve together in a Town shirt. We're delighted to welcome Luke to the club."

Russ Dodd added:

"We're excited to add Luke to the squad. He has experience at a higher level and will bring real quality and presence to our back line. His character and mentality will fit exactly what we're building here at Nuneaton Town. Luke is a fantastic character and someone I know our supporters will take to straight away. His signing complements the quality and character we already have within the squad, while adding further strength as we prepare for the challenges of Step 4 football.

We're building something special here at Nuneaton Town and Luke is exactly the type of player and person we want to be part of that journey."

Upon committing the Town Luke said:

"I can play anywhere across the back line, but my preferred position is centre-back. As a player, I always give 100% and I'm willing to put my body on the line for the team whenever it's needed. I'm extremely excited to be joining your wonderful football club and can't wait to get started. I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of the squad and the excellent supporters that I've heard so much about. Hopefully together we can enjoy a successful season and create plenty of great memories along the way."

Welcome to Nuneaton, Luke. We can't wait to see you in blue and white. 💙
