WARRINGTON Rylands' new signing certainly packs a punch.
Yesterday, the club confirmed the signing of midfielder Paddy Lacey, who left National League North side Chester earlier this week.
The 28-year-old – a professional boxer with three wins from as many paid bouts following his debut last October – is available to make his debut for Blues when they travel to Kendal Town on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the club have also confirmed the departure of one of their longest-serving players.
Versatile utility player Warren Gerrard, who joined the club when they first entered the North West Counties League, has joined Lower Breck on loan until April.
Gerrard recently made his 100th appearance for the Gorsey Lane side and was a key member of the squad that won the FA Vase last season.
