Quartet Commit to Marketmen

Needham Market have announced that Jake Dye, Marcus Garnham, Keiran Morphew and Dylan Williams have all committed their long-term futures to Pitching In Southern League Premier Division Central club.

These players are an integral part to what manager Kevin Horlock and his assistant Tom Rothery are building with the team.

Dyer came through the club’s own successful academy and has excelled in the team having been at the club for nine seasons now, accumulating over 300 appearances.

His versatility playing anywhere across the back four make him another key member of the team.

Garnham, now 35, is a vastly experienced goalkeeper, rated as one of the best in non-League football.

He signed for the Marketmen in May 2019 from league rivals Leiston.

He had spent the previous two seasons with Leiston after spells with AFC Sudbury and Lowestoft Town.

Originally with Woodbridge Town, he went on to join Bury Town in 2008 and made 300-plus appearances for the Blues.

He has now passed the 150-game mark for the Marketmen.

Club captain Morphew is another to have come through the Bloomfields academy and hasn't looked back since, having been at the club for eleven seasons and closing in on 400 appearances and is currently the
second longest serving player at the club.

He leads by example and is without doubt a key member of the team both on and off the field.

Williams signed for Needham Market in January from league rivals St Ives Town, where he had been since July 2020.

A creative attacking player, he joined the Saints after ending the truncated 2019/20 season with league rivals Biggleswade Town, for whom he made 18 appearances and scored 5 goals.

He started his career with Cambridge United and had loan spells with Soham Town Rangers and Wealdstone before being released from the Abbey Stadium at the end of the 2016/17 season.

He subsequently joined St Neots Town and had two campaigns with the `other` Saints, totalling 75 games and 23 goals.

He made the switch to Lowestoft Town towards the end of the 2018/19 season and it was from the Trawlerboys that he joined the Waders in November 2019.
