Eric was registered for Sandbach and featured during pre-season as he fought for the number 1 spot for the Ramblers. After limited minutes for Sandbach, he was loaned out to fellow NWCFL side Eccleshall and slotted straight into their team as first-choice keeper.

Joining Eccleshall, Eric contributed significantly to an upturn in form as a sluggish start to the Staffordshire sides season was transformed and he now leaves the Pershall Park team with two wins in their last three games. The peak of Eric’s heroics at Eccleshall came in the Staffordshire County Cup, as they faced League Two’s Port Vale and held them to a 1-1 draw over 90 minutes, making some crucial saves in the process. He then saved all five of Vale’s penalties to secure a 1-0 penalty shootout victory for Eccleshall with a fantastic goalkeeping display.

We are thrilled to welcome Eric back to Hind Heath Road and can’t wait for him to get his gloves on again!
