Another Busy Week at Stourbridge

Leon Broadhurst and Stuart Pierpoint, the joint managers of Pitching In Southern League Premier Division Central club Stourbridge, have signed up several more of last season’s squad ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.

The Glassboys have taken up the option on striker Jason Cowley’s contract to retain the services of the ace marksman following on from his outstanding contribution last season.

The 27-year-old re-joined Stourbridge in June 2021 from rivals Bromsgrove Sporting and scored 24 league goals in 37 games last term.

With 145 Stourbridge appearances under his belt so far, goalkeeper Charlie Price remains between the sticks for his fifth season as a Glassboy.

The 28-year-old returned to the War Memorial Athletic Ground in June 2019 from league rivals Alvechurch, having made the reverse journey in the summer of 2016.

After joining the Glassboys back in November 2022, Dexter Walters put in some lively performances on the wing and supporters are excited to see more of him in the upcoming season.

He moved across to Stourbridge from another league rival, Stratford Town, having started out at Coventry City.

Midfielder Callum Gittings has also put pen-to-paper for a second season with the Glassboys.

The experienced 37-year-old joined last summer from new league rivals Leamington, where he had enjoyed a lengthy spell.

Defender Jack Wilson has also agreed new terms, having moved to Stourbridge in September 2021 after being with league rivals Bromsgrove Sporting since 2012.

Young forward Farid Mikidam, who marked his first team debut with a memorable goal at Bromsgrove Sporting in April, has also penned a new deal, as has defender Chris Knight, who re-joined the Glassboys last summer from AFC Wulfrunians.

Fellow defender Joe Hull, 31, has also agreed to stay.

Hull is another who made the switch from neighbours and rivals Bromsgrove Sporting, having previously been with Rushall Olympic and Alvechurch.
