Neil Reynolds. Returned to Shawbridge after a brief spell at Bamber Bridge. Scored the winning goal at Nantwich that secured the 2003/04 NWCFL Divison 1 title and promotion to the UniBond League.


Peter Smith. Signed from Kendal where he spent seven years including a successful 2 season spell as manager during which Kendal reached their first final in 25 years. He's a very well known player round the non-league circuit and he'll bring experience to the side as well as weighing in with his fair share of goals.
a  



James Mann. Goalkeeper signed from Leigh RMI in January 2007. Bided his time but a suspension for Paul Horridge gave him his chance and is turning in some superb performances in 2008.



Paul Horridge. Vastly experienced goalkeeper who returned to Shawbridge in October 2007 following a successful spell here in 2006.
a  


Russell Clarke. Defender brought in from Rossendale United in 2007 where he spent the last season as skipper. Was a member of the Blues NWCFL winning side and can play anywhere across the back.



Ian Flannery. Young defender signed from Squires Gate in November 2007 and made a winning start in his home debut v FC United of Manchester.


Russ McKenna. Midfielder brought in from Rossendale United in January 2007. Moved from Morecambe to Kendal Town where he spent 4 seasons before moving to Rossy in October 2006.


John Osborne. Defender brought in in December 2006 from a brief spell at Chorley after previously being at Kendal Town.



Barry Shuttleworth. Accomplished left back who had a spell at Bury early in his career.


Jonathon Smith. Loan signing from Fleetwood Town in January 2008 and putting his experience and heading prowess to good use for the Blues.


Nigel Taylor. Experienced defender captured just before the 2007/08 season from Kendal Town.
a  


David Dempsey. Tricky winger brought in from Burscough where he came up through their youth and reserve setup and played in their team that had a memorable run to the 3rd Round Proper of the 2004/05 FA Youth Cup.


Ryan Fisher. Former Great Harwood Town midfielder brought in from Radcliffe Borough in January 2007 and a scorer of some vital goals for the Blues.



Dave Hankin. Young winger who signed in February 2008 from Squires Gate.


Adam Kozlowski. Former Clitheroe Reserves player who returned to Shawbridge in 2007 after a successful spell at Rossendale United. Strong tackling midfielder who can also play at rightback.


Paul Osborne. Classy midfielder who joined in March 2007 and can also play at the back.


Joel Pilkington. Midfielder signed in January 2008 from Chorley. Was at Burnley early in his career where he captained the reserves and made a couple of first team appearances. He joined Hyde United on his release before moving to Mossley where he captained them in their successful promotion to the UniBond Premier Division 2005/06.



Scott Redhead. Left-sided midfielder signed in January 2008 from Lancaster City. Plays equally well at left back when required and proving a versatile player for the team.


Craig Sargeson. 25. forward. Tipped for great things when he was Rossendale’s top scorer in their NWCFL winning season while still in his teens. A successful move to Witton Albion was brought to a halt by a series of injuries and after a cautious start with the Blues he is now oozing the class that could still see him take a step up.


Gary Stopforth. Hardworking midfielder who came to Clitheroe just before the 2007/08 season following his release from Blackburn Rovers where he'd captained the reserve side.
a  


Will Exton. Young striker brought to Shawbridge after being released by Bradford City. Still has plenty to learn but has notched a few goals to show the potential is there. Has pace and aggression aplenty, and when the goal radar works every game, he will surely progress.


Sam Heap. Another young striker who has had games at Colne. Plenty of enthusiam and pace and eager to learn.



Gary Jackson. Striker who progressed through the Clitheroe Wolves and reserve team ranks. His prodigious goal scoring talent was starting to shine through before he suffered a cruel injury in the 2005-06 season that left him on 13 goals from just 20 matches. He returns for the 2007-08 season after more than a season out for recovery.



Anthony Johnson. Striker signed from Ramsbottom United in March 2008 where he was very popular and notched his fair share of goals as well as becoming their club captain.



Carl Lomax. Strong and skilful striker signed from Salford City in January 2008 and already amongst the goals.



Mickey Saunders. Diminutive striker who initially came on loan from Fleetwood Town in November 2007 but soon made the move permanent. Previously with Bacup Borough and Ramsbottom he is a nippy and mobile player who will cause problems and score his fair share of goals.


Danny Toronczak. Prolific striker signed February 2008 from Mossley. He scored 143 goals in 235 games for Ossett Albion before moving to Belper Town for the start of this season and then linking with Mossley in November 2007.
