Keeper Signs
Gresley FC can now confirm that 20 year-old goalkeeper Mats Morch has signed on a short term loan from Championship side Derby County.
Norwegian goalkeeper Morch signed professional terms with Derby County during the summer of 2012.He was spotted playing for a team called Mandal in Norway and after coming over for a trial period, he impressed the Rams enough to be offered a two-year scholarship in the Academy.
He picked up a bad knee injury against Watford in his first season with the Club and it ruled him out for half of the season, but he bounced back to be a regular in the 2011-12 season but a dislocated shoulder ruled him out of the final weeks of the season.
Morch has a great attitude and, as you would expect for a goalkeeper, he is incredibly brave. He has a good technique and, crucially, he is as enthusiastic as they come and he is out on the training pitch every day wanting to improve.
He is expected to continue his develop during 2013-14 and learn off of Derby's other senior goalkeepers, as well as featuring for Derby's Under-21 side to gain valuable match experience.
Morch is yet to make his Rams debut after signing professional forms last season, but he has gained match experience in Derby's Under 21 side during the last year and spent some time on loan at Burton Albion earlier in the campaign.
