Conference News: Forest Green Sign Burton

Last updated : 09 August 2007 By Stray Shots Team

The 26-year-old will challenge Ryan Robinson for the number one jersey and previously played for Wantage Town in the Hellenic League, where he caught the eye of Harvey.

Already dubbed by the clubs fans as the Bruce Grobbelaar of non league football, he has shown a fearless streak with a good shot stopping ability.

Originally from Hull, it is hoped that with top quality goalkeeping coaching, including regular advice from Mick Byrne and Jack Russell and he can keep Robinson on his toes.

With Rovers recently elected as members of the Pontins (Football Combination) League - Wales and West Division, he certainly will not be warming the bench this season as often happened to those taking on goalkeeping duties in seasons gone.
