Ex-Blues man Luke Hubbins joins AFC Telford

AFC Telford United announced the signing of the pacy Luke Hubbins at their annual presentation evening last night.

The 20-year-old, who spent the last six months of last season on loan at Tamworth, is comfortable anywhere on the right flank and he is looking forward to settling into his new surroundings after being released by Birmingham City.

"It's a massive club," said Hubbins. "I really wanted to come here and as soon as I knew that Telford were interested I was happy to join."

In a further boost, assistant manager Mike Davies has pledged his future to the club while influential defender Chris Blackburn has also agreed terms to stay for another year.

The evening itself proved to be a huge success with the well-dressed Bucks fans turning out in numbers.

Goalkeeper Ryan Young picked up most of the awards, including Players' Player of the Year, Supporters' Player of the Year and Away Day Player of the Year.

The experienced keeper even jokingly stood up just before Chris Sharp picked up his award for top scorer, and there is no doubt he was pleased to receive recognition for a magnificent season between the sticks.

"I'm over the moon," Young said. "It's nice when people appreciate the way you've played but the most important thing for us was staying up this season."
