Bell can fulfil his potential

JIM Gannon believes new striker Nyal Bell is in the best place to fully realise his clear potential.

The former Rochdale and Gateshead frontman signed last week and Gannon reckons it’s a great time to be working with the youngster.

“I feel at 21 he is starting to show his potential at the National North level,” Gannon told the club’s official website.

“He is taller and has a more physical profile than our other attackers. He has a good range of physical and technical attributes which, we feel, will have an impact in games.

“He is a very good addition to our front line and will provide a good compliment of attributes to our other attackers and much needed competition for the central attack positions – an aspect which we were keenly aware was missing last season.

“Nyal is a Stockport lad who we have been aware of for quite a while. We have been monitoring his progress over the last two seasons whilst he has been plying his trade out of Gateshead FC in both the National and National North through various loans.

“All the staff that have worked with him previously, or scouts that have seen him, highlight the great potential in Nyal and I trust our team can help him realise his full ability, and have a big impact in the game at his hometown club.”
