Bird is the latest Gladiators capture

Matlock Town are delighted to announce the signing of experienced central defender Pierce Bird ahead of the upcoming campaign.

The former Northern Ireland Under-21 international arrives at the Proctor Cars Stadium following his departure from Kidderminster Harriers.

The 27-year-old commanding centre-back is renowned for his composure in possession and ball-playing ability.

Bird has established himself as one of the most consistent defenders in the non-league pyramid. His ability to build attacks from the back, combined with his defensive strength and leadership qualities, will add significant quality to the Gladiators’ squad.

Bird enjoyed success with AFC Fylde, helping the Lancashire side secure the National League North title, and has since amassed extensive experience across the National League and National League North.

Throughout his career, he has represented several well-known clubs, including Notts County, Boston United, Eastleigh, and King’s Lynn Town.

Everyone at Matlock Town would like to welcome Pierce to the club and wishes him every success in Gladiators colours.
