At the moment we have no info to speak of about 'Brew' a midfielder who joined us in the close season. However we believe the well worn phrase 'a product of local football' may well fit the bill.......If so, going be recent performances, we need to be scouting the local scene a bit more.

Vastly experienced keeper at this level, Bros returned to Gedling Road for a third spell at the beginning of the 06/07 season and only missed two games of that campaign.

Extremely popular with Arna fans Broster made a single appearance in Arnold colours in Jan 1994 then returned for his second term playing 49 times in 2001/02 picking up two awards at the end of season presentation evening along the way. He followed that by being ever present in 02/03 and hardly missing a game between the sticks in 03/04.

After returning 'home' Lee belatetly become the 11th member of Arnold Town's exclusive 200 club on 6th January 2007 (v Armthorpe) almost thirteen years to the day since his debut way back on 8th Jan 1994.

In terms of his Arna career a twenty minute hat trick when coming on as a second half sub against Blaby in the Vase was a perfect way to get into the Eagles' away supports good books.

Arnold Town Career  208 + 26 Apps 20 Goals        Season 08/09  9 + 1 apps

Debut:- 24/09/94 (?) Ossett Albion as sub (NCE)

Returned 'again' to GR to begin the 06/07 season having spent 05/06 at Sutton Town. Clarkey is what might safely be described as a 'character' - a whole hearted utilty player who never gives less than 100% effort on the field. With his fellow central defenders falling down like nine pins around him in 06/07 Clarkey stepped up to the plate with typical enthusiasm. Mark proved his worth to the squad more and more as that season progressed and deservedly received Runners Up spot in the Supporters Club Player of the Season awards. During 07/08 Mark became the 12th member of Arnold Town's exclusive 200 Club and once again was voted the Runners Up in the Supporters Club Player of the Season awards.

As a matter of pure Arna trivia - Clarkey was the first ever Arnold Town player to don the new Maroon and Gold shirt for a papa photo shoot (see above!)

Debut:- Further research required

Hard tackling defender 'Hudo' returned to Arnold at the beginning of the 06/07 season. In a previous spell Chris booked himself a permanant spot in Arna folklore with his last minute winner at Redditch in the 02/03 FA Cup run which earned the club a high profile 4th Qual Rnd home tie against Scarborough. A severe leg injury sustained at Pickering on 3rd Oct 2006 looked to have threatened any future footballing career but after more than a season's enforced lay off Chris has fought his way back to be an ever present so far this season during which time he has been selected to Captain the side.

Has had spells with Gedling Town, Gedling MW and St Blazey.

Debut:- 19/11/05 (H) Pelsall Villa (FAV)

Immensely talented 19 year old who quickly emerged from Arnold's successful Academy side. 'Watto' is a flying wing back capable of playing anywhere on the right side. His early exploits have attracted a great deal of attention including trials with Middlesbrough during which time Tom scored on his debut for Boro Res in a 1-1 draw against West Brom with 'a delightful chip from the left edge of the area'. Fortunately for Arnold Tom managed to juggle his education with NCE football until this year. Made his 50th appearance for the club at Long Eaton in 07/08. However time has run out on us and after a few early season apps for 08/09 Tom is now off on his studies.
