Callum Ainley: Long-serving promotion-winner to leave club - News - Crewe  Alexandra

Nantwich Town are delighted to announce the signing of goalkeeper Ben Garratt on a free transfer.

The 29-year-old is best known for his many years spent at Crewe Alex, where he came through the academy and went on to make 246 appearances for the first team after being given his break by former Dabbers manager Steve Davis.

The former England under-19 international also made nearly 100 appearances for Burton Albion before leaving at the end of last season.

Manager Paul Carden said:

“For someone of Ben’s calibre to want to come and play for us and want to come and help us, he’s a local lad who’s been playing in the league for a number of years, three or four hundred league appearances, you don’t do that certainly as a goalkeeper if you’re not very good.

He’s come in like Tom (Pratt) showing a desire to want to play and I think when you get offered these types of players and they want to come to the club you’d be daft to turn them down because you can never have too many good ones.”

Welcome to the Dabbers, Ben! To potentially see Ben in action at our home game against Trafford on Saturday, get your tickets HERE.
