Story courtesy of Burton Mail
Gresley Rovers have snapped up sacked Burton Albion midfielder Ryan Venning.
Venning finished last season on trial with Rovers after Albion ripped up his contract in a dispute of his failure to report for a two-game trip to Hampshire.Now Rovers manager Frank Northwood has made the move permanent despite opposition from West Midlands League rivals Rocester.
Northwood said today: “I’ve got a lot of respect for the lad because joining Gresley was more important to him than money.”
