Quakers sign defender Patrick Almond
By Ray Simpson
Dual registration basis
Darlington have today completed the signing of defender Patrick Almond on a dual registration basis from Shildon.
Patrick, who is 20 today, started his career at Sunderland as an 11 year old, and was a regular in their under 23 team before he went on loan to Blyth in the middle of last season.
He was a regular at Blyth before he returned to Sunderland and was released.
An injury from a car accident meant that he didn't play for anybody until last month, when he signed for Shildon in the Northern Premier League.
Alun said; "Patrick will provide us with some cover in the centre of defence over the rest of the season."
We would like to thank Shildon for their co-operation with the dual signing.
