Paul Holleran has moved quickly to fill the gap left by the departure of Kaine Felix by bringing Matty Dodd back to the club from Stourbridge in a deal to the end of the season. The pacy winger and expert penalty taker was a popular figure in his first spell at the club and made 119 appearances, scoring 26 goals before leaving us in March 2015. He returned with the Glassboys in an FA Trophy tie earlier this season, scoring the only goal on his 100th appearance for the visitors, but Brakes fans are sure to forgive him for this as he still showed he has a great affection for the club during his time away, getting in on the after match celebrations following our play off victory last season and even more memorably invading the pitch with Richard Batchelor after Courtney Baker-Richardson's injury time equaliser in the play off semi final at Redditch United the previous season!!
Brakes boss Holleran was pleased to have Matt back on board, saying 'The opportunity arose to sign Matty again and we are delighted to have him back. He did well for us before and has done well while he's been away from the club. I felt he would have a positive impact on the squad. He's experienced, he can nick and goal and assist and he is a popular character in the dressing room.'
Meanwhile the relevant paperwork has been submitted to the FA to extend the loan of Daniel Udoh from Crewe Alexandra for a further month. The young striker has impressed in his six appearances so far, scoring three goals, and the news will be a huge boost to Brakes survival chances.
