Star striker being tracked by National league side

STRATFORD Town chairman Jed McCrory admits that the club is facing a battle to keep leading scorer Callum Ebanks after the 20-goal striker was targeted by a National League side.

But he confirmed that the majority of last season’s side had agreed to re-sign with the Bards as they look to improve on last season when they missed out of the Southern League Premier Central play-offs on goal difference.

McCrory said: “With regards to Callum, we have offered him a new contract but he has been in discussions with a side in the National League. If a big club comes in for him then we wouldn’t want to hold him back and we have always been positive in encouraging players to move on with their careers which is one of the reasons why players choose to come to Stratford Town.
