Coalville Make Second New Recruit

Central defender Ashley Carter has become Coalville Town’s second new recruit ahead of the 2023/24 Pitching In Southern League Premier Division Central campaign.

The 27-year-old is rated as one of the best centre-backs in the league and moves to the Mander Cruickshank Solicitors Stadium from league rivals Alvechurch.

He had followed manager Ian Long from Alvechurch to league rivals Stourbridge in May 2019 and then moved to Halesowen Town in July 2020 before returning to `Church in May 2021.

He first came to prominence with Wolverhampton Wanderers where he signed professional forms in 2014.

Although he never made a first-team appearance for the Molineux outfit, he enjoyed loan stints with Chesterfield and Tamworth during his time on Wolves' books.

In June 2016 he signed a one-year contract with Kidderminster Harriers before moving to Alvechurch a year later, where he helped the Lye Meadow club win promotion from the Southern Division One South.

He moved to Nuneaton Borough for the start of the 2018/19 campaign, but he was back in Alvechurch colours by November 2018 due to the Warwickshire club's financial woes at the time and subsequently played a major part in Church's fine run over the second half of the season that led them to reach the Premier Division Central play-off final.
