“We’re absolutely thrilled to be working so closely with all the great people at Heaton Stan! They have been hugely welcoming neighbours since we opened our doors in December 2023 and so it is of course with pleasure we can help with sponsorship such as this. We’re very excited to see what next season brings for the Stan!”

“The Willow have been fantastic neighbours and supporters of the Club since their arrival in the area. This deal shows that we want to develop a long term partnership which will benefit Heaton Stan, The Willow, our supporters and the community. To have their support for the next three years shows their commitment and we are very grateful for the support. We are all really excited as we look ahead to another season of entertaining football here at The Willow Park!”

Heaton Stannington are delighted to confirm the signing of attacker Alfie Livermore.

The 21-year-old joins the club after leaving West Allotment Celtic where he scored 13 goals last season. Alfie has also played for Newcastle Blue Star and Blyth Spartans in his young career so far.

Upon signing for the club, Alfie said:

“I’m buzzing to be joining the Stan. I’m looking forward to meeting the lads and getting started!”

Asked about his playing style, Alfie says:

“I’m a very attack minded player and like to get the ball at my feet and make things happen. I want to bring my form from last season straight into this and provide the team with plenty goals and assists.”

Manager Dean Nicholson says:

“I’m over the moon to secure Alfie. His pace and power have attracted us to him and he will bring goals to our side. We have beat a lot of sides to his signature which shows just how well he’s played over the last 12 months so I’m looking forward to seeing him in a Stan shirt.”

We are delighted to confirm the appointment of Carl Chater as First Team Coach ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Carl is no stranger to the Stan, as he already heads up the Heaton Stan Academy side. He also spent last season with West Allotment Celtic in the Northern League, but now brings together his Senior and Academy experience under one roof at the Stan.

On his appointment, Carl said

“I’m absolutely delighted to be joining Heaton Stan. I have huge admiration for what Dean and Andy have achieved and the club has went from strength to strength. I can’t wait to get started.”

Manager Dean Nicholson also had to say:

“I’m delighted to get Carl in as coach. We have been chatting with Carl and the link with academy was a no brainer. He brings experience and a wealth of knowledge and someone I feel will really suit our dressing room which was the most important factor for me.”

We can also confirm that Jamie Tunstall has departed the Club and wish him the best for the future.

It is with regret we confirm that phsyio Tony Dunn has called time on his stay with the Club.

Tony has been a safe pair of hands for the lads over the last two seasons and we all wish him the best.

Heaton Stannington are delighted to announce that Dale Pearson has agreed to sign for the club.

The striker made over 100 appearances for previous club Dunston, over 40 of which came in the last season where he scored 13 goals, including a hat-trick at league champions Cleethorpes Town. Dale scored 19 goals in the previous campaign.

Dale has been a prolific goalscorer throughout his career. A spell at Consett returned 67 goals from 84 appearances, including a goal in their 2020 FA Vase Final defeat to Hebburn. Previous clubs also include Morpeth Town, Blyth Spartans and Newcastle Benfield.

Dale Pearson said:

“I’m delighted to sign for the club. After speaking to Dean and Andy, it was a pretty easy decision. I know a lot of lads who are here, I consider them to be my mates. It felt like the right decision in this time in my career to come here.”

Heaton Stannington manager Dean Nicholson said:

“I’m naturally over the moon to bring a player in like Dale. He was our number 1 target and to sign him is brilliant and just what this team and club needs. Like the fans, I can’t wait to see him getting started.”

The Club are able to share news of players retained, in discussion and players departing the Club this summer.

We would like to place on record our gratitude to those players who depart for their contributions during their times with the Club and wish them all the best for their future endeavours.

Following the red card issued to Leighton Hopper in the 12th minute against Newton Aycliffe for Serious Foul Play, the Club immediately lodged an appeal for Wrongful Dismissal. Leighton was facing a 3 match ban.

We are pleased to share that our appeal has been successful and the red card & any associated suspension has been overturned.

Whilst we are pleased that the decision has been overturned, we remain disappointed that such a bad decision was made in such an important fixture, which had a major impact on the rest of the game.

We must now move on and focus on the final three fixtures of the season.

No further comment will be made.

We are delighted to confirm our next instalment of the popular Heaton Stan Comedy Night will take place on Thursday 10 April 2025 and tickets are now on sale!

Phil Walker

Phil’s act has taken him to some weird & wonderful places, from a scout hut in Unst in the Shetland Isles to a porta-cabin on mount Alice in the Falkland Islands, basically he’ll go anywhere for a laugh! His great act, along with his warm personality & charm have made Phil one of the most sought-after entertainers around today.

“If you look in your local comedy club listings and ever see Phil Walker listed, get a ticket. One of the funniest acts out there.”
– Jason Manford.

JoJo Sutherland

Jojo’s “healthy neglect” approach to parenting forms the backbone of her material, blending everyday grievances with motherly advice that resonates with audiences. As a mother of four, she draws from her rich personal experiences, including her memorable starring role in Channel 4’s award-winning series “Wife Swap.”
