First New Summer Recruit for Evesham

Pitching In Southern League Division One South club Evesham United have made their first new signing of the close season.

Central defender Charlie Wise has joined the Robins from Southern Premier Division Central side Bromsgrove Sporting.

The 26-year-old had joined the Rouslers in late October 2021 from Vanarama National League North side Brackley Town.

He had been with the Northamptonshire outfit since the summer of 2021 after arriving from Corby Town, where he had been since August 2019 after being with Banbury United.

He originally joined Banbury in September 2015 from Brackley Town Saints after being a regular in, and also captain of, the Brackley Town development Hellenic League Division One promotion winning side of season 2014/15.

He came through the Brackley youth system after joining the club at the age of 12 from the Coventry City academy.

He was part of Banbury’s promotion-winning side of season 2015/16 making a total of 32 appearances before leaving the club in August 2016 for Kidlington and then moving on to Wantage Town in February 2017. He re-signed for Banbury in September 2017.

Evesham manager Mike Ford told the club’s website: “It is important to get good players and good people. I have known Charlie a long time. I am really pleased to get him across the line, and it is a really important signing for the football club. It shows a bit of intent from us as to where we want to try and be next season.

“Lots of telephone calls and meetings at the moment. I want to make sure I get the right people in the dressing room. We need people that want to win with passion, care and support each other. Charlie fits the bill brilliantly and when we make further announcements, those players will also do that”.
