RUGBY Town boss Grant Joshua has made former promotion-winner Nathan Scott his final summer signing ahead of the 2026/27 season.
Full-back Scott reunited with old boss Joshua after the pair previously won promotion together at Lye Town in 2022/23.
The 25-year-old recently returned to action with Wolverhampton Casuals following a lengthy spell on the sidelines through injury.
Joshua said: “I’m personally highly motivated by this signing of Nathan.
“I tracked Nath for years at youth level, I have an excellent relationship with the family and I finally got to work with him at Lye Town where he was pivotal to our promotion season alongside a few others.
“He’s suffered with tendinitis of the knee since that play-off final at St Neots. Otherwise, he would have been the first player I signed at Coleshill and Rugby.
“The lad’s had it tough with how much ability and speed he possesses due to that injury. The bonus is that it wasn’t a break or ligament injury and he’s almost coming back as fresh as physically possible.
“Nathan played the last 15 or 16 games of last season and is well and truly back on track. I had such positive reports on his performances.
“If he hits the ground running and reaches the levels I know he can pretty rapidly, this football club has a special talent on its hands.
“He’s a good age and it’s not something I could turn down when it became a possibility.
“This concludes our summer business unless something exceptional comes across my desk that we can’t turn down.
“I’m delighted with our summer recruitment. To be finished at the start of June is impressive from all involved. We now know what we have in the building and we work with them to achieve our goals this season.”
Scott, who plays on the right-hand side, began his senior career with AFC Wulfrunians before spells with Stafford Town and Lye where he scored five goals en route to promotion.
