Striker Andy Brown extends loan stay at Nuneaton Town
Feb 10 2012
ON-LOAN striker Andy Brown has suffered the thin end of the wedge since his arrival at Nuneaton Town from AFC Telford last month but there’s no doubting the all-action forward is key to manager Kevin Wilkin’s plans.
Wilkin has extended Brown’s stay at the Triton Arena for another 30 days. The original deal ended on Sunday.
Wilkin said: “Andy has not had things go his way too much since he joined us and in two of the games he’s played we’ve suffered a sending off and he has had to furrow a lone passage up front.
“But while chances have been few and far between, I believe he’s a major asset to us, even when he doesn’t find the net. The lad is a tremendously hard worker, is totally honest in his game and has a great attitude.”
Brown, who netted 20 times in 43 appearances in his previous spell with Nuneaton back in the 2007-2008 season, was credited with the goal that earned Boro a 1-1 draw at Workington in his first match back at the club but has been off target in the three latest outings.
Brown’s loan spell at Boro ends after the trip to FC Halifax this weekend.
Right-back Graham Ward is set to see his consultant soon to determine the continued problem he’s having with an injured knee that was operated upon in December.
“It’s not 100% and another visit is required to see what can be done,” added Wilkin. “It’s disappointing for Graham and the team.
“He’s tried various things but the problem is not being resolved.”
