Neil Reynolds | Returned to Shawbridge after a brief spell at Bamber Bridge. Scored the winning goal at Nantwich that secured the 2003/04 North West Counties Division 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. |
 |
|
James Mann | Goalkeeper signed from Leigh RMI in January 2007. |
 |
|
Paul Horridge | Vastly experienced goalkeeper who returned to Shawbridge in October 2007 following a successful spell here in 2006. |
| Russell Clarke | Defender brought in from Rossendale United in 2007 where he spent the last season as skipper. Was a member of the Blues North West Counties 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. |
|
|
Jonathon Smith | Loan signing from Fleetwood Town in January 2008 and putting his experience and heading prowess to good use for the Blues. | |
| John Osborne | Defender brought in in December 2006 from a brief spell at Chorley after previously being at Kendal Town. | ||
 |
Nigel Taylor | Experienced defender captured in the close season from Kendal Town | |
 |
|
Joel Byrom | Midfielder brought in from Accrington Stanley in January 2007. Joel came through the ranks at Blackburn Rovers but was released in summer 2006 and joined up with Accrington. |
 |
|
Dave Dempsey | Tricky winger brought in from Burscough. Came up through their youth and reserve setup, member of the team that had a memorable run to the 3rd Round Proper in the 2004/05 FA Youth Cup. |
 |
|
Ryan Fisher | Former Great Harwood Town midfielder brought in from Radcliffe Borough in January 2007 and has already scored some vital goals for the Blues. |
 |
|
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 right back. |
 |
Dave Hankin | Midfielder signed from Squires Gate | |
 |
Paul Osborne | Classy midfielder who joined in 2006 and can also play at the back. | |
 |
|
Craig Sargeson | Forward. Tipped for great things when he was Rossendale’s top scorer in their North West Counties 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 | Early season signing who came to Clitheroe following his release from Blackburn Rovers where he'd captained the reserve side. | |
 |
|
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 enthusiasm and pace and eager to learn. |
 |
|
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. |
 |
Gary Jackson | A young local lad who has progressed through the Clitheroe Wolves and reserve team ranks. Hard to believe that Jackson aka "Rooney" is now the longest standing member of the side. Set up the second goal in the famous FA Vase QF win over Chippenham Town when still in nappies and has improved every season. Last season his prodigious goal scoring talent started 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. | |
|
|
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. | |
 |
|
Carl Lomax | Strong and skilful striker signed from Salford City in January 2008 and already amongst the goals. |
 |
 |
Anthony Johnson | Striker signed from Ramsbottom United. |
