Rutinerad anfallare till Barnet
Anfallaren Jon Nurse har skrivit på ett kontrakt med Barnet FC.
Äntligen dags för lite spelare in i truppen igen. Idag gjorde man klart med anfallaren Jon Nurse som ansluter direkt och börjar träna med klubben imorgon fredag.
Jon Nurse kommer senast från Dag & Red där han spelat sedan 2007. Han var med och tog klubben till League One genom att avgöra på Wembley i play-off-finalen 2010 men satt nu på ett utgående kontrakt. Totalt blev det 28 ligamål på 182 matcher för Nurse som allt som oftast användes som ytterspringare.
Han föddes den 1 mars 1981 i Bridgetown på Barbados men fotbollskarriären drog igång på allvar i Sutton United. Han värvades 2004 till Stevenage och gjorde några fina säsonger innan han gick vidare till Dag & Red.
Nurse säger till barnetfc.com:
"I'd spoke to the gaffer a few weeks ago and it's taken a little bit of time to sort out all the details but I'm over the moon now that I've finally put pen to paper.
When I spoke to Mark Robson he sounds like a real football man. He sounds ambitious and comes from a good coaching background. Everyone that's spoken to me about him has been impressed with him and the way he works, so I saw it as a massive incentive to come to Barnet.
I had other options this summer, but having sat down and spoken to Mark I thought, "This is the best club for me". Today's going to be my first day training and meeting all the boys so I'm excited.
"Over the years I've learnt how to survive in League 2, I've learnt to get promoted from League 2 and play in League 1, which is obviously a really good standard of football. You learn to be a better all-round professional, you learn how to conduct yourself better - eat the right things, do the right things, recover in the right way - from the experiences I have had I hope to pass that onto the younger players.
My goal this year is to score as many goals as I can. Double-figures is the minimum for me. To keep being successful too. Over the years I've had success where I've been so I'm hoping to continue that with Barnet.
I love football; whether it's watching it with my friends or watching it on TV or playing with my little boy, I love football. So hopefully the fans will see that on the pitch, they'll see it in how I play and I can reward them with a few goals too…and a trip to Wembley, maybe!"
