"I am delighted to bring Aaron into the squad. Aaron is a special player, who adds quality, intelligence and experience to a very strong group. He is technically sound, trusts his ability and understands the game, which gives him the confidence to play in a number of positions and systems.

We have been very fortunate to attract players like Aaron and many others to the club. This is a testament to Gresford Athletic and all the hard-working people involved, who have helped build a good reputation.

We all look forward to working with Aaron. Hopefully we are not waiting to long before the seasons starts."
