Title: New Signing.....
Post by: Alty Dave on March 20, 2018, 11:22:37 PM: Altrincham have signed winger Theo Bailey-Jones from Stalybridge Celtic. He was a used substitute against Altrincham last Saturday when Celtic beat Alty 2-1. Theo (dob 22 May 1994) joined Wrexham in November 2012, having started out at Manchester City, before moving to Crewe Alexandra. He then played for Northwich Victoria and Irlam Town before his move to Wrexham. In summer 2015, he joined Macclesfield Town after a loan spell at the Moss Rose from Wrexham. When his contract expired at the Welsh club, he signed for the Silkmen.

Did'nt see that coming?

Any thoughts anyone/?

Checked back. He was indeed a sub for Bae Colwyn in our 3-1 win there in March 2014. Played most of the second half. He would only be 19 then, so hopefully he'll strip fitter at 23.

That would be the oddest thing ever if we'd signed him for the CSC!! I don't think he can play tonight anyway as if memory serves me correctly they have to be signed 7 days before the game for CSC. I think it's more likely he's been signed to replace Mason Walsh with the games coming thick and fast.
