Peare makes U-turn over Ciren switch

» MIDFIELDER Nick Peare has made a U-turn on his decision to join Cirencester Town and decided to stay with Yate Town.

Peare signed for Cirencester, in the wake of the resignation of Yate boss Paul Britton, but new manager Paul Michael has managed to change his mind.

Michael said: “Nick has been a huge player for Yate over the last couple of seasons and the first thought in my mind when I was appointed was that I wanted to try and bring Nick back.

“He’s such a talented player but he also brings a winning desire and leadership on and off the pitch. Nick has heard our plans for the season and we are delighted he wants to be part of it, I can’t wait to work with him”.

Peare added: “I had a big think about everything. And I’ve always taken the advice and given the advice of “play as high as you can, for as long as you can”.

“I’ve got a lot of respect for what John (Brough) is building at Cirencester Town, and I have no doubt they’ll be successful under his leadership.

“But I want the challenge of this league, it’s tough week in week out. And after speaking with Paul, he has a clear philosophy that I’m excited to be a part of. And I think with his style of play, it’s going to be exciting for players to play in, and for fans to watch.”

Evesham United have signed forward Ben Hayes from Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division side Westfields.

Hayes joined Westfields four seasons ago from Bishop’s Cleeve.

Meanwhile, striker Harlie Prince has joined Hellenic League Premier Division side Brimscombe & Thrupp from Cheltenham Saracens.

Price scored 32 goals in 32 games in the 2018/19 campaign and had netted 15 times before the suspension of the 2019/20 season.
