Position : -Goalkeeper

Matt originally signed in January 2017 after a spell with Trafford FC and made himself first choice in the second half of the 2016-17 season.

He had previously been at National League North outfit, Stalybridge Celtic.

Matt lost his place to Terry Smith at the start of the 2017-18 season and in his search for regular football joined Northwich Vics in mid-September 2017.

But before the month was out, he was back in the fold at The Millbank Linnets Stadium.

Matt has proved himself to be a highly dependable 'keeper, who is very popular with our fans, and played 22 times in the 2017-18 title season.

The arrival of Dylan Forth towards the end of the campaign saw Matt also sign for our now EVO-STIK League West Division rivals Glossop North End on a dual registration.

However, Matt again committed to the Linnets in the summer of 2018, giving manager Michael Ellison the luxury of two excellent 'keepers fighting over the goalkeeping shirt.

Runcorn Linnets would like to thank Alan & Wendy Brown who have kindly sponsored Matt Holmes.
