Thatcher Signs For Rovers
Gresley Rovers’ manager James Jepson has secured the services of attacking player Jack Thatcher from Belper United, marking another significant addition to his squad rebuilding efforts.

Thatcher caught the manager's eye with an impressive wing performance in Belper's recent 2-1 victory over Rovers at the Moat Ground on January 4th, prompting Jepson to make a swift approach for the Burton-based player.

The new signing arrives with an impressive scoring record, having been dual-registered with Belper Town in the Northern Premier League following his stint at Dunkirk, where he netted an remarkable 39 goals in 44 games during the 2023/24 season to claim the United Counties League Division One Golden Boot. Thatcher's previous experience includes spells at Eastwood and Hucknall Town.

"I'm delighted Jack has signed for Gresley Rovers," said Jepson. "He was the standout performer against us for Belper United, scoring a brilliant opener and causing us so many problems that I had to alter our formation to try and contain him."

"As a Burton local, Jack has a strong understanding of Gresley and the club's heritage - something our supporters will appreciate as they've been keen to see more local talent in the squad. He's ambitious to progress his career, and with the support of Marc and Steve, I believe we can help him achieve those goals."

Jepson concluded: "Jack brings qualities we've been missing, and I'm confident he'll both excite the Moat Ground faithful and provide the goal threat we've been looking for."
