The fourth part of the classic Coates, Layfield, Okopskyj, Beecroft back four that took so much stick last season.

Vastly under-rated centre half who ALWAYS gives his all for the team.

Forged an excellent central defensive pairing with Okopskyj last season.

Excellent in the air, a tough tackling no nonsense central defender, 'Beeky' capable of making more tackles and challenges than you give him credit for, a valued member of the squad and once he gets into the side does his utmost week in, week out to keep his place.

Tough tackling, goes through players and lets them know they're in a game.

Dangerous on set pieces, very hard to beat in the air when attacking a corner at either end of the ground, adding invaluable height to a relatively small team.

Originally signed for the club back in 1994-95 playing in & out of the side over the mid-nineties, made a full time return to the club 2002-03 under new management as an accomplished central defensive signing.

Guarantees you 2-3 goals per season.
