Ludlow born goalkeeper Harry Burgoyne has left Alfreton to take up a goalkeeper coach post at Shrewsbury.
Last Tuesday he was sent off in Alfreton's game against Scarborough.
Back in August Burgoyne offered to play for Hereford but manager Paul Caddis declined his offer.
This from Alfreton:
We can confirm that goalkeeper Harry Burgoyne has departed the club by mutual consent to allow him to take up a full-time goalkeeping coach position at Shrewsbury.
We thank Harry for his contribution during his time with us and wish him every success in his new role.
This from Shrewsbury:
We are delighted to announce that Harry Burgoyne has rejoined the club as goalkeeper coach.
The 29-year-old previously spent four years at Salop between 2020 and 2024, becoming a fans’ favourite during his time at the Croud Meadow and serving as a Her Game Too ambassador.
Harry, who was born in Ludlow, came through the ranks at Wolves before joining Town.
He has has since been at Morecambe in League Two as first-choice goalkeeper, as well as Alfreton Town most recently.
Head coach Gavin Cowan said: "We wanted someone young and enthusiastic who really suited the model.
“I think Harry’s actual words when I called him were, ‘I was praying you were going to make this call.’
“He’s someone who loves the club and has a really strong affiliation with the supporters. Now he wants to be professional, get his head down and progress.
“I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the level of detail he’s working at. He’s worked with a lot of very good goalkeeper coaches and, of course, had his own playing career.
“His enthusiasm really suits us. There’s a lot of energy in our management team and a lot of love for the football club, and he fits that perfectly - so for me it was a no-brainer.
“He’s a great lad, brilliant around the place, and his professionalism will shine through.”
