We are delighted to welcome Matt Ridley back to the Meadow on loan from Sutton United.

Matt made 11 appearances at centre back earlier this season, and is now back with us until the end of the season.

A tall 22 year old centre half who signed his first professional contract with Sutton in the summer. A native of the north east of England, he played for several clubs in the area before a spell playing university football in the USA, and on returning last season he joined Whitby Town, also signing for Consett on a dual registration basis, before joining Sutton over the summer.
