Rushden sign Rob Wolleaston

Cambridge Utd midfielder Rob Wolleaston has moved to Nene Park on a two year deal for an undisclosed fee. The 28 year-old free scoring midfielder counts Chelsea, Bradford, Northampton and Oxford amongst his former clubs, and his two goals in the play-off semi-final second leg against Burton eventually took the U’s to Wembley, where they lost to Exeter City.

And manager Garry Hill believes that he is sending out all of the right signals to fans in their bid for promotion back to the football league. Hill said, ‘We are picking and choosing as we go along – waiting for the right men to strengthen the squad. We want competition for places and we’ve certainly got that in midfield with Wolleaston joining us. I’d like to feel that bringing in Wolleaston, Clare and Phillips has started to send out the right signals. Until now I’ve had to work under very tight restrictions. But the chairman has been superb in backing me. We talked about this and agreed the supporters here deserve a lot more than they’ve had for the last three or four years. I’ve convinced him to help us move on with the opportunity of fetching in more quality which can only benefit the club.’
