| Purdie After The Final Home Game Of Last Season |
"It’s nice to finally put pen to paper and sort my future out,” Purdie told the Tamworth Hearld.
“Tamworth is a great move for me. I was at Worcester for a few weeks in pre-season and their manager Carl Heeley is a really nice guy. But I just felt Worcester were in a position where they were not too sure of what they needed.
“I then got a call off the gaffer (Dale Belford) and had a good chat with him about Tamworth and his plans for the club and I just decided I wanted to sign on here. I had a few offers but this was the one that really appealed.
“It’s a good club and I knew a few of the lads already, like Greeny (Paul Green), Towner (Michael Townsend) and Dave Hibbert.
“It feels like I have clicked with the lads in the dressing room straight away and already feel settled here and I think that’s important.”
Whilst at Hereford, Purdie played in virtually every position bar in goal and he says he'll do the same at Tamworth if asked.

"When I signed, the gaffer basically said there was a place here for me as a left back. I played there for Hereford at the end of last season and I enjoyed it.
“But if we have got injuries, I am happy to move around, if we have left back cover.
“I’d like to think I give the gaffer that option so I might be popping up all over the place!”
