“I’m a hard working and honest player on and off the pitch. I’ll give everything for the club, management and team mates.”

“I hope I can establish myself and Falmouth at Southern League level.”

Manager Andrew Westgarth said;

Another player who fits the profile perfectly, young, local, hungry to play and test himself at this level. Fred can play anywhere across the back line so I’m delighted to get him in.”
