Tuesday, July 18 2006

Mark Bridge has rejoined Hitchin after a spell away from Top Field.

The popular Bridge, who won many friends at the club for his unselfish running and commitment, spent half a season away for Hitchin with Aylesbury United.

The diminutive striker is pleased to be returning: "I am ecstatic to be back," he said. "I have always really enjoyed playing for Hitchin and I am looking forward to being part of things again."

Assistant Manager Ken Gillard welcomed Bridge back to the club: "Mark never gives less than 100% and he never lets us down when he's been called upon. He's a good man to have on board."
