WITTON boss Brian Pritchard has added an attacker to his squad after signing Alex Meechan.

The striker left Blue Square Bet North play-offs hopefuls Worcester City earlier this month before approaching Albion about a move.

He will be available to face Worksop Town tomorrow, Saturday.

“It’s a switch that suits us both,” said Pritchard.

“Alex is a player who has played for most of his career in the Football Conference, so brings quality to an area of the field in which we’ve been short on numbers since Ashley Stott left.”

Versatile Meechan, now 32, left AFC Telford United in the summer to join Harrogate Town after a loan spell, switching to Worcester in October.

He counts Stalybridge Celtic, Altrincham and Droylsden among his former clubs.
