OPPOSITION PLAYER TO WATCH
Keaton Ward, who arrived at the Heed from Altrincham in January, is certainly one to keep an eye on this Good Friday. The dynamic midfielder brings experience from spells with Mansfield Town, Kettering Town and Boston United.
Since making the move to the North East, Ward has hit the ground running, finding the net four times already. Notably, he’s scored half of those goals in his last two appearances, with strikes against York City and Yeovil Town highlighting his growing influence in the side.
