Duffield Joins Retford

24th May, 2006

New NCEL Premier Division side Retford United have announced their first new signing of the close season as the much travelled striker, Peter Duffield.

He joins them for the 2006/07 season as Assistant Player Manager, where the club hope his previous professional football experience will prove to be invaluable.

The 37-year-old has had a successful league career starting at Sheffield United where he played between 1987 and 1993 before moving into the Scottish League with Hamilton, Aidrie, Raith and a ?100,000 move to Morton.

After a brief spell at Falkirk, he returned to the Football League with Darlington, York (where he scored after only 37 seconds in a season opener against Chesterfield!), Boston and Carlisle before before moving to Alfreton Town and Frickley Athletic.

Over 350 League appearances with an average of a goal every two games to his credit, the club feel that Duffield will be a perfect mentor to the young strike force at the Badgers, as well as helping out Manager Mark Shaw in an Assistant Manager capacity.

He has also played in the Soccer Masters tournament for Middlesborough winning the Northern Trophy against teams of footballing legends from Newcastle United, Sunderland and Blackburn.
