Heaton Stannington are delighted to announce that young winger Dan Kemp has joined us on dual registration.

The 18-year-old joins from Stotfold in the Southern League Division One Central, where he was named Players’ Player of the Year last season. Dan joins the Stan having moved up to the North East to begin studying at Newcastle University.

Dan is a high-energy winger who aims to provide attacking threat and desire to get forward and score goals.

Upon moving to the club, Dan Kemp said:

“I’m very excited to join the Stan and get going. I know they’re a promising side with a positive future. I want to come here and make an impact on the team to support them in reaching their targets for this season, but also to continue improving myself under Dean and Andy. I want to help the team win as many games a possible and reach double figures for goals this season.”

Manager Dean Nicholson said:

“Dan comes with a good reputation. Andy has been monitoring him for a while and he’s looking very sharp with us already. He has real quality and he will add a lot to this group. He’s a player I’m sure the Stan Army will be watching on the edge of their seats. Welcome aboard Dan!”

Thank you to Stotfold FC for their assistance with the deal.
