Altrincham FC have signed midfielder Patrick Lacey, who until he played the final half hour at Trafford on Thursday evening, had not played for Alty in pre-season but, ironically, played against The Robins, for Morecambe last week!
Patrick (d.o.b. 16 March 1993) spent his apprenticeship with Sheffield Wednesday. In July 2011, following his release from Hillsborough, he moved to Bradford City on a one-year contract, at which point Bradford manager Peter Jackson said, "I think Sheffield Wednesday have made a bit of a mistake letting him go".

Whilst with Bradford, Patrick Lacey had a month's loan in 2011/12 season at Vauxhall Motors, which was cut short in October, 2011, when he had to have knee surgery, following an injury sustained playing against Harrogate Town. But he returned to the Wirral side on a three-month loan in December 2011. In March 2012 he joined Droylsden, scoring for the Bloods against Gainsborough Trinity. He finished last season at the Butcher's Arms.

Didn't stand out in his half hour tonight, but nor did he do anything wrong. Remember he'd not met his colleagues before, so in true Alty style let's save the cries of "Lacey out" until 7.55 pm in the next match.

Looked ok to me, fairly big physically

You expecting him to last longer than the warm ups then Phil

Clearly a young lad who Lee thinks might come on in time. Hope he's not another summerskill Doesnt seem that bloods or motors were that keen but who knows.

I take encouragement from the fact that Morecambe were having a look at him, he must have a bit about him if they were showing an interest. Perhaps it was more a case of Droylsden not meeting his expectations rather than the other way round?

Welcome to Alty and good luck!

I can't imagine that Droylsden would meet many people's expectations.

[York Alty]

welcome to Alty Patrick.  You put the effort in and you'll be a hero.  Players the calibre of Damian don't come to Moss Lane for no good reason.  We'll look after you if you look after business on the pitch. 

cheers.

"‘Patrick is the final signing, and I must say we are pleased with the quality of the squad for the new season,’ said chairman Grahame Rowley. ‘We do look stronger than this time last year, and we are looking forward to giving it our best shot.’"

Didn't notice him on Thursday, but if he played well at the shrimps then he's an exciting prospect.

Also young so still more to come from him.

Welcome to Moss Lane!
