Defender joins for the 2019/20 campaign

Alfreton Town are delighted to confirm the signing of defender Jake Bennett for the remainder of the 2019/20 season.

Jake, 23, plays at right back and comes into contention for a starting place at Leamington on Saturday. He's pictured above signing for Chesterfield on loan last season.

Jake came through the Wolves Academy before having spells at Mickleover Sports which led to a move to then League One Sheffield United, making his professional debut in the Carabao Cup against Walsall. However a knee injury brought his season to an early end.

Bennett would then move on loan from the Blades to Chesterfield during the 2018/19 season before trialing with the Spireites in the summer.

Billy Heath:
Jake is a great signing for us, he was at Mickleover Sports before making his move to Sheffield United. He's been on loan at Chesterfield before and he is a really reliable and solid right back.
He has impressed us after training with us for several weeks, it brings another member into the squad and we are looking forward to working with him. He's in contention for Leamington on Saturday.
