Prolific frontman Damian Reeves has committed himself to Altrincham FC for another year.

The 29-year-old, who has netted 147 goals in 215 starts for the Moss Lane club, has been top scorer in four of the last five seasons.

He bagged 18 league goals this campaign as the Robins secured their Vanarama Conference status for another season.

A self-employed plasterer, the Yorkshireman was among 12 players retained for the 2015/16 campaign.

Also staying are Nicky Clee, James Lawrie and Jake Moult.

Meanwhile, boss Lee Sinnott has strengthened his side’s midfield with the capture of former Republic of Ireland under-21 international Josh O’Keefe, from Kidderminster.

Midfield had been a priority for Sinnott after the release of Peter Cavanagh and Sean Williams at the end of last season.

He said: “He fits the bill in many ways, when you consider the players who left the club.

“At 6ft 3in, and with an engine that gets him from box to box, I can see him being a valuable addition to the club. I know all about his history, and it includes having an eye for goal. Looking at areas we need to improve on, I’d say he ticks a lot of boxes.”

The 26-year-old is Altrincham’s second signing of the summer after 29-year-old goalkeeper Tim Deasy, from Northwich Victoria.
