We’re thrilled to announce the signing of 21-year-old goalkeeper Alfie Roberts on a dual registration with Heanor Town!
Roberts is a vocal leader in goal, known for leading from the back, and a great shot stopper with a massive kick. The young shot-stopper came through the ranks at Derby County’s academy and was third choice goalkeeper under the management of Wayne Rooney.
Since he left Derby County, Roberts has featured for Belper United and Heanor Town and joins up with the Robins squad ahead of our match away to Lancaster City.
Ian Deakin said: “At this moment he’s been brought in to give competition for the number one shirt. Alfie’s a good goalkeeper that has been on my radar a while. He has huge pedigree with being at Derby County and I am delighted to see Alfie in an Ilkeston Town shirt.”
Welcome to the Microlise New Manor Ground, Alfie!
