Experienced Rose Signs For Sports

Pitching In Southern League Premier Division Central club Mickleover have added another new player to their squad with the signing of experienced midfielder Mitchell Rose from Northern Premier League Premier Division side South Shields.

The 28-year-old played his junior football with Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham United, before playing over 180 games in League Two, with the likes of Mansfield Town, Newport County, Grimsby Town and Notts County.

He moved to Boston United and Yeovil Town and had been at South Shields since December 2021.

Rose told the club’s Peter Scherer: “I have signed until the end of the season and looking forward to playing for Mickleover.

“I moved here as I saw how attentive gaffer John McGrath was to me as a person, not just a player and that means a lot to me.”

Rose is available for Saturday’s home game against AFC Rushden & Diamonds.
