Bedford Town Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Tyrone Lewthwaite. The exciting, young striker arrives at the Eyrie having spent the end of last season with Aylesbury United, scoring five goals in the last twelve games of the campaign.

Lewthwaite, 21, was with Rotherham as a youngster where he made substitute appearances in the Championship. After leaving Yorkshire, he signed for Hampton & Richmond Borough in the National League South, making twenty-four appearances and scoring seven goals. With seasons disrupted due to the pandemic, he had further spells at Beaconsfield and Walton Casuals before finishing with the Ducks.

Lewthwaite has previously represented Northern Ireland at the U19 European Championships

Speaking to www.bedfordeagles.net, manager Gary Setchell commented "Everyone at the club was impressed when we saw Ty play against us on the last day of the season. He looks a real handful and caused us issues throughout the game. I'm sure he will fit in well alongside Connor and our other attacking players to create (and score) plenty of chances."

Lewthwaite joins Callum Donnelly having signed PitchingIn Southern League registration forms at the Eyrie. Contracted players Connor Tomlinson, Hugh Alban Jones, Drew Richardson and Elliot Duffy also join Gary Setchell's squad ready for Premier Division football in seven weeks time.
