The Colls are delighted to confirm the capture of Ben Turner – Left sided Defender – from fellow Northern Premier League side Worksop Town. The experienced defender joins following his second stint at Worksop and names North Ferriby, Frickley, Stocksbridge, Sheffield FC, Mickleover and Grantham, as his former clubs.
At 6 ft 2, Ben will add a to the defensive options and is looking to help lift The Colls up the table. We caught up with him and he had this to say on his move to Ponte…
Welcome to The Colls Ben, tell us why you wanted to join Ponte Colls?
I live in Pontefract so it was hard to say no when they came in for me, it will be nice playing so close to home for a change. But overall looking forward to getting going and enjoying my football.
For fans who may not know about you, let us know what type of player you are?
I can operate as a left full back or quite versatile along the back. I’m hoping I can bring some experience to the team and kick on both personally and as a club.
You are joining us at an important time in our season, what are you looking to add to the team and what your goals are for the rest of the season (Both personally and as a group)?
I think the team are in a false position at the minute, so firstly we need to get some points on the board and get away from where we are and then see what can happen. As I mentioned before I will look to bring some experience to the team and then help to see us kick on as well as myself.
Welcome to The Colls Ben!
