Warrington Rylands ‘pull off stunning capture’ with player dropping two divisions

Warrington Rylands ‘pull off a stunning capture’ with player Jak McCourt dropping two divisions after guiding Chesterfield to the playoffs.

The Spireites confirmed on June 20th that following negotiations with the 26 year old, the two parties have been unable to reach an agreement over a new contract.

It’s thought that the new deal would be on reduced terms, however the midfielder opted to turn it down and left as a free agent.

He therefore left the club following the expiry of his contract and it ready for life in the Northern Premier League after his new side were crowned champions of the NPL West Division for 2021/22 and they won the FA Vase at Wembley in 2021.

Rylands manager Dave McNabb said: โ€œJak came in to train with us short term when Macclesfield Town were wound up, he impressed immensely and weโ€™ve kept in contact ever since. Heโ€™s a top class player who will bring real quality to the groupโ€

McCourt said: โ€œI canโ€™t wait to get going.โ€

Chesterfield added: “Everyone at Chesterfield Football Club wishes Jak the best at Warrington Rylands. Smash it, @jakmc4 ๐Ÿ’™”

In a separate post: Everyone at Chesterfield FC would like to wish @jakmc4 the best of luck in his new challengeโ€ฆ Jak gave his all for the shirt in his time here and we wish him nothing but the best for the future ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’™ #Spireites

He joins the likes of defenders Josh Langley and Aaron Morris, versatile wideman James Barrigan and forward Ryan Brooke as new faces at Warrington Rylands.

@neilgeorgewhite: Great signing for you guys. Easily good enough for National League, can pick a pass, just solid all round. Will be staggered if he isnโ€™t in the Team of the Season

@StuartWiddowson: Absolute banging signing. Could easily have carried on in National League, heโ€™ll tear up your league guys. All the very best Jak, will be watching your results this coming season #AllTownArentWe

@spireriteblue39: What a cracking signing!!! Heโ€™ll absolutely destroy your league. Was gutted to see him leave us. Go on and tear it up Jak!!! Good luck lad.

@hollyhouse22: All the best @jakmc4 everyone at Chesterfield

@NeilHopkinson11: Way too good for that league. He’ll tear it a new one for you!

@oooh2beagooner: Great that you’re hooked up with a club on the up, and close to your home. Thanks for the memories. Always remember you putting your finger up someone’s ass at a corner. Naughty. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

@3SE_FOOTBALL: ‘Signing of intent’ as they say. Intent on promotion.

@LRbix: Are you becoming the next Macclesfield or Wrexham?

@ForeverAYellow: oh here we go, yet another person moaning at a club for doing what every other fans of other clubs wanting their own club to do in spending money in order to do well and get out a league. that’s literally how it works in every sport. if you have the money, why wouldn’t you use it? Want to win promotion, buy better players, simple. Yet for some reason clubs like these get slammed. Bet @LRbix wouldn’t complain if his supported club did it.
