Experienced Forward Joins Taunton

Pitching In Southern League Premier Division South club Taunton Town have snapped up experienced wide attacker Ross Stearn following his recent departure from Vanarama National League South side Chippenham Town.

The 31-year-old signed for the Bluebirds in August 2020 having been in his third spell with their league rivals Bath City.

After playing for Bristol City as a youngster he had brief spells with Weston-super-Mare and Forest Green Rovers before joining Almondsbury Town in October 2009.

After nearly two seasons with the Almonds, he joined Chippenham Town in the summer of 2011.

A series of impressive performances for the Bluebirds in the Southern League earned him a permanent move to Weston a year later.

It was at the Optima Stadium that he began to attract the attention of Bath, initially turning down an offer in February 2013, before becoming City’s first signing that summer.

He went on to play 95 games in the next two seasons, scoring 29 goals, but just 40 were as a starter.

It was, therefore, no real surprise when he joined Sutton United in May 2015.

He helped Sutton to promotion in 2016, before being sold to National League rivals Eastleigh midway through the next campaign.

He then returned to the U’s almost exactly a year later.

He joined Bath on loan in January 2018 and added another 8 games and 2 goals to his total, before re-signing permanently in May 2018.
