Gladiators get Goodson

Matlock Town are delighted to announce the signing of exciting forward Zak Goodson from Quorn FC.

The forward arrives at the Proctor Cars Stadium following a sensational campaign with the Methodists, finishing last season with an outstanding 23 goals in 39 appearances, while also picking up a host of individual accolades, including Players’ Player of the Season and multiple Man of the Match awards.

Goodson’s prolific campaign has established him as one of the most exciting forwards at Step 3, and his arrival represents a major coup for the Gladiators.

Zak is no stranger to playing a starring role in a promotion-winning side. Four years ago, he helped Ilkeston Town under our current Chairman secure the NPL Midlands title, finding the net 22 times in 42 appearances, with his goals playing a huge part in propelling the Robins to Step 3.

His outstanding form earned him a move to the National League with Altrincham, where he also enjoyed loan spells with Boston United and Spennymoor Town, before subsequently moving to Chester.

His combination of pace, movement and proven goalscoring pedigree is sure to make Goodson an exciting addition to Ricky Ravenhill’s squad, with the new arrival now ready to make his mark in Gladiators colours.

Welcome to Matlock Town, Zak!
