Runcorn Linnets have added another of our pre-season trialists to the squad for 2020-21 by signing Tom Ruffer.

Joining the summer influx of promising young talent coming into the club, Tom might be a new face but his name is very familiar to long-standing Linnets fans.

He is the son of ex-Runcorn AFC centre back Carl Ruffer, who captained the former club with distinction in the late 1990s.

In contrast to his dad, Tom's focus is very much on attack.

He previously starred as a regular marksman in the successful Youth side at Chester FC.

Welcome to the Linnets, Tom!
