Hednesford Town are pleased to announce that defenders Mark Derricott and Ethan Patterson have joined the club on a loan and permanent deal respectively.

Derricott already spent time on loan at the RACE stadium earlier this season impressing with his mature performances at centre back and we are really pleased Hereford have allowed him to rejoin us on loan.

Patterson is a new face at Hednesford having began his career with Aston Villa coming through the academy at Villa Park before moving to Icelandic side Throttur Vogum in 2020 spending a year there before returning to the Midlands with fellow Southern League Premier central side Alverchurch at the beginning of last season, he moved to Worcester Raiders earlier this term and now joins the Pitmen for the remainder of the campaign.

Welcome to the Pitmen Mark and Ethan.
