Sam Barratt makes Vanarama Conference South debut for Maidenhead United

Former Bracknell Town winger Sam Barratt made his first team debut for Maidenhead United in the Vanarama Conference South on Saturday as a second-half substitute.

Barratt joined Magpies a fortnight ago after a successful trial period for the club and following negotiations with Bracknell Town where he was on contract.

Magpies were beaten 4-1 on Saturday by St Albans City but the Maidenhead United website reported that: “Stepping up from the Hellenic League, the teenage Barratt showed no signs of being overawed with some nice touches on the left wing, whipping in a couple of decent crosses.”

Barratt had an outstanding 2013/14 season at Larges Lane winning 3 awards at the end of season presentation ceremony. Robins meanwhile continued a good start to the season on Tuesday night with a 3-1 win over Newbury at Larges Lane.
