They Are Keepers!

They Are Keepers!

'Whitcombe and Stockton Stay'

The squad continues to build with the retention of both keepers, Haydn Whitcombe and Joe Stockton.

Haydn has now been with the Club for over two seasons, having made his debut in January 2023. He has made 102 appearances and has played a significant role in the Club’s recent history.

Joe joined the Club in the summer of 2023, making his debut in an 8-1 thrashing of AFC Bridgnorth in the FA Vase. Last season, he made just 3 appearances for the Club, spending the final part of the season on loan at Pershore Town.

On securing the services of both, Chris Cornes said, 'Haydn has been a keeper for me now for over three years, and he’s been brilliant throughout that time. I’m happy to have retained him. He is a fantastic keeper who pulls off some unbelievable saves at times and also has the safest hands to take the sting out of a game when needed. He was superb in both playoff games when called upon and came and claimed some important crosses into the box for us.

"Stocko is a brilliant lad and a fantastic keeper, he’s been with me for a while now too. The keeper dynamic at the club is brilliant, and it takes care of itself. I’m over the moon he’s decided to stay with us after interest from other clubs."

Welcome back to both, and we wish them the best of luck for the season ahead.

We kick off pre-season this week with an away trip to Bewdley Town on Thursday (3rd July - 7:45pm), before welcoming EFL League 2 side Cheltenham Town to Sixways Stadium on Saturday (5th July - 1:30pm). Tickets are on sale now: https://wcfc.flicket.io/
