We are delighted to confirm the signing of striker Gabriel Johnson.
The 28-year-old joins the Shakers after leaving Guiseley this summer. Many were impressed with his efforts as ‘Trialist B’ in the game against Chester last weekend and we are delighted to confirm he’s signed officially.
Johnson spent four seasons at Guiseley across two spells, playing in two Covid effected seasons before returning in August 2023 for a second spell with the club.
He was top scorer for the club in the 2023/24 season, scoring 22 goals across league & cup.
Manager, Dave McNabb said:
“Really pleased to get Gabs in, he’s a player we identified and spoke to early in the summer and one I’m really excited about.
“Gabs will give us more firepower and provide even more competition in attacking areas having the capability to play as a striker or anywhere behind a striker.
“He gave an insight into what he is capable of in the Chester game and there’s certainly more to come once he’s fully fit and sharp.”
The Sheffield-born player spent time in his youth with Manchester United’s under-14s and Leeds United’s under-17s before joining Sheffield United’s Academy for a season.
His playing career has also included stints at Hallam FC, Sheffield FC, and Doncaster Rovers
