GLOUCESTER CITY AFC PRESS RELEASE

From: Gloucester City Football Club

Date: 21 June 2007

TITLE: CITY SIGN MATT ROSE FROM CONFERENCE CLUB WESTON

Weston Super Mare Captain Matt Rose has signed a contract to join Gloucester City.

Rose will start his second spell at the club, having been at Meadow Park for a season in 1999-2000. Rose has also played for City Manager Tim Harris before in a three-year spell at Newport County. That spell was ended in September 2003 by a move to Conference South Weston Super Mare.

Talking about his latest signing, Tim Harris said; “I have known Matt for a long time, and he was an immense asset for me at Newport. He can improve us in every respect – he is a terrific player, with a passion and drive to win, and he is a great presence to have in the dressing room and at training as well. He will improve what we have here at Gloucester in all of those respects, and will take us another step towards building the team that we need to challenge for honours.

For his part Matt was delighted to be joining City at this time; “I have been at the club before, but on that occasion it was not the best of the times for the club. But even then the fans were terrific, and I believe that has been maintained. Once I knew Tim wanted me, and he had explained what he was seeking to achieve down here, then I was keen to get on board. I am hungry for success, and hungry to win trophies, and I think we have a good springboard now. Tim and I both know how the other works, so I feel I can settle in quickly, and hope to play a big part in bringing success to the club. I know many of the players, and we have a great chance to push on this year and take the club towards the next level.
