Experienced Defender Joins League Rivals

Riley leaves Glassboys for Lambs.

Tamworth have signed vastly experienced defender Martin Riley from Pitching In Southern League Premier Division Central rivals Stourbridge.

The 34-year-old joined the Glassboys in August 2020 from Hereford FC having signed for the Bulls in May 2019 from Vanarama National League North rivals Alfreton Town.

He had been with the Reds since arriving from National League outfit FC Halifax Town in July 2018.

A well-travelled player, he joined Halifax from Wrexham in May 2017 and was the Shaymen’s first signing after winning promotion to the National League.

He came through the youth ranks at Wolverhampton Wanderers and then left for Shrewsbury Town where he failed to make a League appearance.

A move to Kidderminster Harriers followed in 2008 and after two years with Kiddy, he joined Cheltenham Town in 2010.

He moved to Mansfield Town in 2011, making 33 appearances before joining Wrexham in 2012, winning the FA Trophy in the 2012/13 season.

A return to the Stags then came in 2013, before a move to Tranmere Rovers and a second spell at Wrexham in May 2016 followed, before signing for Halifax.
