Weston Make Third New Signing

Winger makes short trip down the coast.

Pitching In Southern Football League Premier Division South club Weston-super-Mare AFC have announced the signing of winger Jay Murray.

The 20-year-old becomes the Seagulls’ third signing this summer to date, joining Jordan Bastin from Tiverton Town and Jason Pope from Bath City at The Optima Stadium.

Murray joins the Seagulls after spending the last two years with Toolstation Western League Premier Division neighbours Clevedon Town.

He moved to the Hand Stadium in September 2019 from rivals Odd Down.

The son of former Bristol City winger and current City kitman Scott Murray, Jay is an exciting young attacker that has represented his county and has also played for Bristol Academy, Congresbury and Hengrove Athletic.

Murray featured for Weston in Tuesday night’s 2-1 win over Exeter City, putting in an admirable performance on the right wing.

Manager Scott Bartlett told his club`s website: “Jay is a Weston boy and one we have monitored for a while.

“He’s a direct, old-fashioned winger with lots of energy and we are pleased to bring him into our group”.
