Latrell Patterson moves from Newark and Sherwood United Football Club in Nottinghamshire to competitors Sleaford Town in Lincolnshire but will still be playing in the same competition, the United Counties League Premier Division North

A player will be moving across counties as he leaves one football team for another.

Latrell Patterson who has been playing for Nottinghamshire's Newark and Sherwood United has moved across to Sleaford Town in Lincolnshire.

Both teams play in the same competition, the United Counties League Division North, and compete at step five level.

According to the United website, Patterson has previously played for Ilkeston Town, Gresley Rovers, and Clifton All Whites.

Patterson knew The Highwaymen manager, Jon D'Laryea from their time together at Long Eaton.

"Latrell has been on the radar for some time," said Sleaford Town joint manager Tom Ward.

"He is still only 24, we’re confident we can tailor him into not only a top centre half at this level but also above."

"I’d like to thank everyone associated with The Highwaymen and wish them nothing but the best for the future," said Patterson after announcing the news online.

The Greens confirmed that Patterson will be put into the lineup in their clash on the road against Loughborough Students on Saturday (kick-off 3pm).
