"When I signed Gareth from Ilkeston I knew straight away what type of person and character he was, a winner, and an honest and genuine young man."

Gareth Holmes added: "I’ve known Mick a long time, we played together and I’ve played for him when he managed in the Northern Premier. He’s honest hardworking, passionate, and understands the game
