Walker’s joy over Curzon return

Walker skippered Curzon in the backto-back promotion campaigns that saw the club rise to the National League North, and he’s delighted to be back at the Tameside Stadium.
“It feels great to be back. From the minute I walked back through the doors, seeing all the old faces, it feels like I’ve never been away,” he said.
“The welcome back I’ve received has been very humbling and something that makes the club so special. I’m looking forward to playing and winning as many games as possible for this great club.”
Manager John Flanagan added: “We know Sam’s qualities and what he is going to bring to us and I’m sure we’re both going enjoy our time together.”
