DTFC Res pull off a sensational swoop for former Gayton UTD 1st team right back Ashley Fountain.

Flying full back Fountain joins the management team for the reserves as assistant coach and also takes the captains armband. His presence and attitude towards football makes him a natural leader and an obvious choice for the captaincy. Ever present for the div4 runners up Ash made 35 appearances scoring 6 from right back but finished high in Gayton's assist chart, his love of getting forward and quality of delivery makes him a real danger in attack but also posses great defending attributes. Res gaffa Gotsell was elated with his new signing "we had a rough ride last season and to tempt someone of Ashes calibre is amazing, he's bought into the project that I'm building and this is a real signal of intent from us that we are moving in the right direction. I'm delighted he's joined us and being a level 2 coach it was a simple decision to add him on to the management team with myself and Craig Wyllie." An excited Ash said,"leaving Gayton after all this time was a hard choice but the chance to help build something from scratch was to temping to turn down, hopefully my form from last season carries on and i can give my all to the team."
Gotsell doesn't plan to stop here with new signings and more are set to be announced in the coming days
