Whitby Town Start NPL Premier Campaign in Cumbria

Saturday, 9 August 2025 06:00

The Blues are heading to Workington with their new Dracula-inspired away strip.

There are likely to be competitive debuts for defender Alex Nelson, midfielder Ronnie McGrath and Zambian forward Donald Chimalilo.

Chimalilo, who signed in midweek and has had a spell at Scarborough Athletic, thanked player-manager Gary Liddle and Blues supporters:

" I know all the fans have shown me some good love, to be fair and since I've come, telling me to sign up. I'm buzzing. To be fair, it's just like season's starting, you signed, you don't have to really worry about all of that. I just want to get going, really.

"Lidds is a good guy, man. So when I stopped playing last season, he was always like messaging me, trying to come in and that. Obviously I spoke to him again this summer and then I came in and I loved it. It's like it's good to have somebody that believes in you and knows what you are about.

"I just want to play as much as I can, that's, for me, the most important thing right now. And then, as a team, really just as long as we just focus on each game and try to win as many as we can."

There's more from Town's new signings and assistant boss Jason Kennedy on this week's Codcast.

It'll be a first-ever outing of the new away kit, unveiled last month.

Kick-off at Workington is 3.00pm with live commentary on This Is The Coast Extra.

Town's first home outing is on Tuesday against newly-promoted Stocksbridge Park Steels, with a 7.45pm kick-off.
