🚨🚨 BREAKING NEWS FROM MERTON FC HQ 🚨🚨

Forget Clickey Ponting. Forget Mudryk. Forget whatever nonsense Fabrizio Romano is tweeting about tonight…

MERTON HAVE BIGGER NEWS. 👀🔵⚪

Confirmed — three familiar faces are heading back to the fold for the season ahead! 🔥

🌾 STEVE WRIGHT
After years of putting farming before football, Steve has apparently decided that Saturday afternoons deserve his attention again. The tractor can wait. ⚽😂

🏃 JACK KIRBY
The midfield engine is back! Those famous running legs have been dusted down and we’re reliably informed they’re still capable of covering at least some of the pitch. 🏃‍♂️💨

🛡️ ADAM DAVEY
The defensive specialist is on the comeback trail! After his Achilles setback, Adam is edging ever closer to returning to the battlefield. The Merton back line may soon have its resident defensive wall back. 💪

Three players. Three very different stories.

One thing in common…

THEY’RE BACK. 🔵⚪

Could the Three Musketeers be about to make a comeback bigger than Gianni Infantino?

Well… who knows!! 😂

And before anyone starts shouting “TRANSFER NEWS!”…

❌ No transfer fee.
❌ No contract negotiations.
❌ No medical drama.

✅ Just three Merton lads coming back for another crack.

Welcome back, Steve, Jack & Adam. 💙

👀 NEW BOOTS… BIG CLAIMS! 👀

Jaydon Andrew has unveiled his brand-new Adidas Predator boots and has already made a bold prediction…

💬 “Top goal scorer with these boots this season… trust me!”

Our manager Paddon was quick to respond…

💬 “Good luck with that… from right back!” 😂⚽

We’ll let the season decide who’s right! 🤣

In the meantime, if you fancy proving yourself (or proving Jaydon wrong 😅), why not come along to Merton FC Pre-Season Training?

📅 Every Tuesday
🕖 7:00 PM
📍 Newly Renovated Clinton Hall Pitch

New players are always welcome, whatever your position. Whether you’re a striker chasing the Golden Boot or a right-back who thinks they’ve heard it all before, we’d love to see you there!

💙🤍 Come join the Merton FC family.
