Former Boro midfielder Billy Marshall joins Bridlington Town
Bridlington Town Football Club have confirmed the permanent signing of 19-year-old midfielder Billy Marshall, as manager Scott Kerr continues to shape his squad for a competitive campaign ahead.
The versatile, box-to-box midfielder arrives at Queensgate boasting an impressive footballing pedigree.
Marshall spent his early formative years developing within the respected academy set-up at York City before making the transition to National League North side Scarborough Athletic.
Known for his high work rate, tactical intelligence, and exceptional passing range, Marshall’s arrival represents a significant coup for the Seasiders, with the club beating out several regional rivals to secure his services.
His addition injects further energy, competition, and technical quality into the heart of the Bridlington midfield.
Town manager Kerr expressed his delight at securing the talented teenager, saying: "I am really looking forward to getting Billy in.
"He’s a very talented player with a good passing range, and we are looking forward to seeing him develop and help us kick on as a group."
Speaking shortly after finalising his move to Queensgate, Marshall made no secret of his desire to help push the Seasiders towards the business end of the table, stating that while the ultimate goal is to go all the way, a sustained push for the play-off positions is firmly the target for the squad.
Scarborough-born Marshall will link up with his new teammates in due course.
He will be hoping to feature when the Seasiders kick off their pre-season programme at Brigg on Friday July 3, which is followed by a journey to Barton Town for the James Hitchcock Memorial game on Tuesday July 7.
The Seasiders’ first home match will be against NPL Premier side Whitby Town on Friday July 10, followed by another derby against Scarborough Athletic on Tuesday July 14 for the David Holland Memorial Trophy.
Another home match follows on Saturday July 25, when Leeds United U21s visit Queensgate, the final away game of pre-season (although Brid are hoping to set up another home game on Saturday July 25) is at Tadcaster on Tuesday July 21.
