FALMOUTH GET DUFFED UP – MARTYN JOINS THE TOWN!

Falmouth Town are pleased to confirm the signing of midfielder Martyn Duff.

Duff, re-joins from St Austell having played for the Lillywhites for the past 6 seasons, playing an integral part in their SWPL promotion season of 2023/24. Prior to St Austell Duff enjoyed a successful spell at Falmouth having won the Cornwall Senior Cup in the 2-1 win over Saltash United in 2019.

Duff becomes our first signing of the season.

“It just feels like the right decision to come back to Falmouth Town. It’s a massive club and I’ve got great memories of my first stint here with great teammates, people behind the scenes and the awesome F-Troop” Duff told falmouthtownafc.co.uk . “I want to be apart of that again and push myself and the club to achieve as much as we can”.

“Whoever I play for I’ll always give my all but I really feel I’ve developed a lot in the years I’ve been away. I’ve had the opportunity to play with and learn from some of the top players in Cornish Football and I feel I come back as a more well-rounded and mature player, capable of contributing in a range of positions”

“Great to have a player of Duffy’s stature back at the club”, first-team manager Andrew Westgarth said. “Having played for us before I know the qualities he can bring but definitely feel we have a better player then what we had at SWPL level for us. His professionalism will drive the group and will be a great addition”

Duff finished with “On a personal note, I want to push myself and see what I’m capable of in football. As a club, Falmouth Town has always been a club that has to be competing for and winning trophies. With all the recent success as well as the quality in the team, that has to be the aim once again this year. I hope to contribute to that in any way I can”.
