Heaton Stannington are delighted to announce the loan signing of defender Mitchell Parkinson.

The 19-year-old defender joins the Stan on a temporary basis from Redcar Athletic where he’s been since the start of last season.

Manager Dean Nicholson says:

“I’m very happy with the signing of Mitch. It’s clear with injuries and suspensions that we had to bring in some quality and Mitch does that. He has a lot of qualities we need in this league and he’s a lad who will certainly improve us. Welcome to the club!”

Heaton Stannington are delighted to announce the signing of left-back Bayley Hester on loan from Sunderland.

The 18-year-old has made three substitute appearances for the Black Cats’ under-21 side this season and joins the Stan to make his first steps into senior football, having signed his first professional deal this summer.

Manager Dean Nicholson says:

“I’m delighted to get Bayley in. He has a big future in the game, so we are happy to get him in and he’ll add huge quality to the group.”
