Droylsden have bolstered their attacking options with the signing of experienced forward Matty Bryan. 

The 30-year-old will be hoping to inspire The Bloods to promotion, a feat he has achieved with fellow NWCFL sides Cheadle Town and Wythenshawe Town in the past. 

The striker has a prolific record at this level, with his best spell coming during his time at Ericstan Park, where he notched 58 goals in three seasons. 

He also has NPL experience, having had two successful spells at Stalybridge Celtic, and featured most recently for Atherton Collieries. 

Bryan recently made his debut for Dave Pace’s side in a 2-1 FA Vase win over Sherwood Colliery, which has put the club just three wins away from Wembley.
