Marley & Tom Sign On for next season

Two more players have committed their futures to AFC Sudbury – while talks remain ongoing with midfielder Ben Hunter.

The squad for next season has now been joined by Tom Maycock and Marley Andrews, both of whom offer options in the wide areas.

Mark Morsley is especially pleased to have secured Maycock’s services, having been impressed by the attacker ever since he saw him playing for the club’s under-18s soon after he had taken charge.
“I am so pleased he is going to stay, he plays out wide, but a couple of seasons ago we played him through the middle and he dealt with it. We know he can play anywhere across that frontline.”

Marley Andrews, meanwhile, joined us last summer after stints with Heybridge Swifts and Stanway Rovers. The former Colchester United professional suffered an Achilles injury last term that limited his involvement, but Mark is looking forward to having him fully fit for the 2021/22 campaign.
“When we lost Liam Bennett to Cambridge United, Marley was my number one target to replace him – it was a big thing to get him. He’s another lad that has been very realistic about his deal and it’s great to see. We actually got him in as a right-back initially but when we changed the way we played, we wanted quick wingers and Marley has been excellent in that position."
“He struggled to play two games a week with that injury but he showed in the games he played how dangerous he can be. There’s plenty more to come from Marley, as there is with all four of the wingers we have.”

As for Ben Hunter, the midfielder is yet to accept a new deal.
Mark has had a few conversations with the grandson of Ipswich Town legend Allan, and is eager to have him onboard next term.
“We’ve offered him a deal and are desperate for him to say.”
