Manor Farm Bring in New Young Keeper

Bristol Manor Farm have announced that young goalkeeper Frankie Phillips has become the newest addition to the team for the upcoming 2023/24 Pitching In Southern League Division One South season, having agreed to the terms.

Phillips, son of former Bristol City and Bristol Rovers keeper Steve, is the next player to join the Portwaymen ahead of what’s set to be an exciting season at the club.

For the past year and a half, the young keeper has featured for Tollstation Western League side Welton Rovers` under-18s as well as for Uhlsport Somerset County League side Chilcompton Sports.
