Scarborough Athletic FC have confirmed that attacking midfielder Alex Purver has joined the club on an initial one year deal.
In a post on the website Scarborough Athletic say:
Purver, who has enjoyed a successful two year period with Darlington, under Alun Armstrong, recently picked up both Players’ Player of the Season and Supporters’ Player of the Season awards with the club. However Jonathan Greening has been able to lure Alex to the seaside this summer.
The West Yorkshire based midfielder, who worked with Greening and Ingham at i2i, is now coaching with Leeds United, where he started his playing career in their Academy, making his way up to captain the Under-21's, before moving on to Guiseley and latterly spending some time abroad in Sweden before returning to his homeland in late 2020.
Jonathan Greening added on his capture:
"Alex is a player I’ve been after for a while so I’m delighted to have him onboard.
He’s a centre midfielder who reads the game very well, disciplined in his position, can break up play but most importantly keep the ball for us. He is a great trainer and does everything right.
He loves the game like I do and is a real student of the game, that’s why he’s coaching at Leeds United. I feel like he will add great experience and enthusiasm to our squad and drive the standards up even more in training and games
Thanks to the Board of Directors for their on-going support".
Purver becomes the first new addition to Greening's side.
Boro narrowly missed out on this year's promotion play-offs at the end of their first season in National League North following last year's promotion. Boro finished 8th in the table missing out on the play-offs on goal difference.
