Fleetwood Town sign Scott McNiven

Fleetwood Town are delighted to welcome Scott McNiven to Highbury Stadium as the latest of several amazing signings. 

Scott’s birthplace was Leeds, for whom his father, David, started his own professional career as a talented centre forward, before going on to play for Blackpool. 

Scott, now aged 28, is a versatile defender, who can play in any position across the back four.  

McNiven began his career with Oldham Athletic for whom he made 267 appearances, scoring 4 goals.

After 7 hugely successful seasons at Boundary Park, a spell in which he was for a time a team-mate of another recent Town signing, Stuart Barlow, McNiven joined Oxford United making 95 appearances in 2 campaigns. 

For the 2004/05 season, McNiven found himself plying his trade for Mansfield Town but after just 26 games for the Stags, McNiven was on the move again to Chester City.  

McNiven’s 47 appearances for the Deva Stadium club took his league and cup career tally to 435.

After a brief spell with Morecambe, McNiven has opted to join the Fleetwood Town revolution. Chairman Andy Pilley commented on his latest eyebrow raising capture: 'we are delighted to sign a player of Scott’s stature and experience. His versatility will be invaluable and the fact that he is based locally is another major plus point'. 

All connected with Fleetwood Town offer Scott a warm welcome to Highbury Stadium.   

Game against AFC Telford called off.

At 1:00pm and with everything looking good for the game the weather decided to intervene. At 1:30pm the referee had no option but to call off the game with the pitch 80% covered in water. A major let down for the club but our hearts go out to the travelling Telford supporters and we look forward to the re-arranged match whenever the UniBond decide it should be.

Tickets for the supporters coach to Frickley on Saturday 9 September are on sale from the club shop price £8.00. The coach will leave the club promptly at 11:00am on the day.
