WITTON Albion's new manager has made his first signing.

Gary Finley has welcomed former Everton youngster Adam Farley to Wincham Park.

Farley, 24, joined Everton as a schoolboy and progressed through the ranks before making his first team debut in February 1999.

A fractured cheekbone suffered during a reserve match cut short his Premiership career and he was released in the summer of 2000.

He then moved on to Altrincham and Burscough before travelling to Droylsden where he was a regular feature of the back four.
