We are delighted to announce the return of midfielder Liam Humbles to The J.Davidson Stadium.

Alty beat off strong competition for the 22-year-old's permanent signature from Rochdale, following a very productive loan spell with The Robins during the second half of last season.

Here's Liam on his decision to join Alty permanently: "I'm delighted to be back at The J.Davidson Stadium. I really enjoyed both my loan spells here, especially during the second half of last season.

"I'm looking forward to getting stuck into pre-season training and I can't wait for the season to start and to play in front of the fans once again."

Neil Gibson is a happy man after Liam's decision to return: "I'm really pleased to get Liam back to the football club. I'm a big admirer of Liam as a player and it was great to work with him during the second half of last season.

"He became a firm favourite with our fans, showcasing his abilities and he adds a really positive, creative, attacking element to our squad and the way we play.

"We're looking forward to seeing him improve, as we believe he is an exceptional talent."

Liam’s Background

Liam’s no stranger to Altrincham, having played for the club twice on loan in recent seasons; firstly when his parent club was Salford City, and then last season on loan from Rochdale, where he made 22 appearances and scored three goals, including our final strike of the season against Gateshead.

It's great to have you back, Liam!!!
