AFC Aldermaston seal signature of ‘number one target’

Hellenic League Division 1 East side AFC Aldermaston have signed their ‘number one target’ according to manager Kieran Jennings.

Amongst a raft of signings announced midweek, the Atom Men have confirmed the signature of former Finchampstead man Chace Jewell.

The move signals the first confirmed move of a member of the Finch squad that broke up following the clubs enforced demotion to the Thames Valley League after 17 seasons at step 6.

Atomics boss Jennings tweeted on Thursday evening his delight at securing his number one summer target. He said: “So pleased to have secured one of our number 1 targets. One of the best we played against last year and delighted to have him.”
