We are delighted to confirm the signing of centre-back Aaron Chalmers, who joins us from Stalybridge Celtic, subject to NWCFL approval.
The 33-year-old, came through the ranks at Oldham Athletic, making it through to the first team to make two appearances.
After spells at Macclesfield Town and Hibernian, he dropped down the leagues to join Mossley in 2010, where he made 44 appearances and scored once. In 2011, he had a loan stint at Droylsden before moving to Stockport Sports for a season, later signing with Southport.
During his time at Southport, he made 29 appearances and had another loan spell at Droylsden. In 2013, he spent a season with Ashton United before starting the 2014 season at Hyde and concluding it at Northwich Victoria.
A productive stint followed in 2015 with Stalybridge Celtic, where he amassed 89 appearances. He then rejoined Ashton United, moved to Buxton, and ultimately became captain at Prestwich Heys.
During his time at Adie Moran Park, he was a standout player, starting nearly every match and collecting the Player of the Year award last May, before re-joining Stalybridge in the summer, and has made 20 appearances to date this season.
Upon signing for the club, Aaron said: “It was a hard choice to leave Stalybridge. I’ve had two spells there and loved every bit of it, but after speaking to Dave about the ambition of the club and what he wants from me. It’s the right move for me.
“The club are going up and not stopping anytime soon. I’m a winner I want to win at anything and everything I do. That’s just the way I am. I’m looking forward to helping the lads and the club get that promotion – that’s my main priority hopefully with a win on Saturday.”
Manager, Dave McNabb added: “Aaron is top quality centre half with real defensive instincts. He’s a leader and organiser with an excellent CV and background. He’s played much higher up the pyramid but also knows these levels too.
“Aaron will really help us defensively and will work with some of the younger players to help improve them too.”
