We are delighted to confirm the signing of centre-back Aaron Chalmers, who joins us from Stalybridge Celtic, subject to NWCFL approval.
 
The 33-year-old, came through the ranks at Oldham Athletic, making it through to the first team to make two appearances.
 
After spells at Macclesfield Town and Hibernian, he dropped down the leagues to join Mossley in 2010, where he made 44 appearances and scored once. In 2011, he had a loan stint at Droylsden before moving to Stockport Sports for a season, later signing with Southport.
 
During his time at Southport, he made 29 appearances and had another loan spell at Droylsden. In 2013, he spent a season with Ashton United before starting the 2014 season at Hyde and concluding it at Northwich Victoria.
 
A productive stint followed in 2015 with Stalybridge Celtic, where he amassed 89 appearances. He then rejoined Ashton United, moved to Buxton, and ultimately became captain at Prestwich Heys.
 
During his time at Adie Moran Park, he was a standout player, starting nearly every match and collecting the Player of the Year award last May, before re-joining Stalybridge in the summer, and has made 20 appearances to date this season.

“The club are going up and not stopping anytime soon. I’m a winner I want to win at anything and everything I do. That’s just the way I am. I’m looking forward to helping the lads and the club get that promotion – that’s my main priority hopefully with a win on Saturday.”
 
Manager, Dave McNabb added: “Aaron is top quality centre half with real defensive instincts. He’s a leader and organiser with an excellent CV and background. He’s played much higher up the pyramid but also knows these levels too.
 
“Aaron will really help us defensively and will work with some of the younger players to help improve them too.”

We welcome Colne to Gigg Lane determined to bounce back from our disappointing start to a month which may well prove vital in our bid for promotion.
 
That 3-1 defeat at Litherland REMYCA was hard to take, but hey! – football’s always about a new start with the next match.
 
We beat Colne 2-0 at their place at the end of October, with second-half goals from Ben Hockenhull and Connor Pye. Since then, we’ve won two and lost two and Colne have won two, drawn one and lost one.
 
Losing twice in four games has come as a massive shock after going 21 without a single defeat. A convincing victory against Colne is clearly well within our capabilities, and would give morale a massive boost.
 
So we need lots of fans in good voice to flock to Gigg Lane and get behind the lads. Please come on down – and come on you Shakers!!
  View Wednesday’s post match reaction from Dave McNabb and Cam Fogerty below.
      In Opposition – Colne
All credit to Colne for their performance in the last four games, after a dreadful start to their second season following relegation from the Northern Premier’s West Division.
 
They currently languish in 23rd place in the table, with just 13 points from 24 games. The Shakers are in 3rd place, with 52 points from the same number of games.
 
Last season, we beat them 3-1 away and 4-1 at home, and they finished in 10th positon – seven places below us.
 
Colne was founded in 1996, and just 20 years later – on 7 May 2016 – clinched the North West Counties Premier Division championship. A single goal in their last game of the season at 1874 Northwich was all they needed, and they finally scored it late in the second half.

Objective achieved! We prepared for this game by bouncing back in style from the defeat at Lower Breck by beating Burscough 4-2 away. The first 45 minutes were probably the best we’ve played all season, even counting the stunning 8-0 defeat of Longridge Town. So we travel once again to Merseyside with heads held high.
 
But it was disappointing to present Burscough with a gift goal early in the second half, and after that it was a struggle. Quality told in the end, and overall it was another great day for us.

It was good to welcome forward Pat Jarrett back into the team for his first league start for the club, but sad to say farewell to experienced Lewis Alessandra who played his final game at the weekend. 

If you hadn’t already seen, experienced midfielder Nicky Adams re-joined the club for a fourth spell over the weekend, and subject to paperwork being approved, he will be avaliable for selection this week.
 
Now it’s onward and upward as we begin a busy and demanding December placed third in the league and with games in hand. First call is at Litherland REMYCA. We beat them twice last season – 4-2 at home and 6-0 away. Either score would suit us this time round – it’s the points that matter. Come on you Shakers!! 

Saturday’s highlights and interviews are available to watch below:
      In Opposition – Litherland REMYCA
We can expect a tough game at REMYCA, who are currently 19th in the league with 26 points from 23 matches. They’ve won two and lost three of their last six games, including a 4-0 home defeat at the hands of top-of-the-table Ramsbottom United.
 
The club’s goal is a mid-table position, and they have a clear policy of giving high-flying teams like the Shakers a thorough examination.
 
They greatly value their place in the NWC premiership, and after several seasons flirting with relegation appointed one of their own players – popular striker Colin McDonald – as manager. That was four years ago, they and he are still here, and last season finished 12th.
