Hednesford Town are thrilled to announce the signing of experienced Shot Stopper Jack Rose on a season long loan from National League side Sutton Utd.

Jack, 29, started his career at West Bromwich Albion rising through the ranks over 4 years before making his FA Cup debut for Accrington Stanley where he kept a clean sheet in a 0-0 draw against Notts County. He subsequently made the move to Crawley where he made his football league debut before he was snapped up by Mauricio Pellegrino at Southampton on a 2 year deal.

A 3 year spell with League 2 Walsall followed where he established himself as impressive competition for Carl Rushworth playing 31 times keeping 6 clean sheets before joining Sutton Utd where he has been since 2022 making 51 appearances in League Two and a combined 20 appearances in the FA Cup and EFL Trophy.

Manager Steve King had the following to say ‘ Its no secret that we have been looking to strengthen in the goalkeeping department throughout the summer and to get Jack over the line is a phenomenal achievement for the club. Jack has only ever played at Football league level I have worked incredibly hard to get this one over the line and I am thrilled to have him on board. Jack brings ability in abundance, a calmness to the side and priceless experience and leadership skills and we are excited to see him here at the club. It will also bring Ryan brown on as a keeper as well to have his experience to draw upon’

Everyone at Keys Park extends a warm welcome to Jack!
