SCURR KEEN TO KICK ON

Fresh off signing a new two-year deal with the club, Ebon Scurr has said he is eager to keep on building and improving his game over the next two years .

The 23-year-old made his senior debut against Barrow Raiders in the 1895 Cup in 2019, having come through the club’s Academy system and has since made 57 appearances in the red, amber and black.

Scurr has become a favourite on the terraces with a series of lung busting, industrious displays that has seen him win a number of ASN Doors Hitman of the Week awards.

Ebon has highlighted the coaching staff and supporters as key reasons to extend his stay at the club – insisting he is working towards becoming a complete player in years to come.

“It’s good to get my future sorted, it gets me ahead of the game knowing what I will be doing next year, I know a lot of a people here so it’s not a case of restarting and building up from scratch,” said Scurr, who is sponsored by Bull-tech Solutions/In Memory of Sheila McCormick.

“I spoke over the phone to Eamon [O’Carroll] and the coaching staff are a big part of me choosing to re-sign here, the past couple of months I have started to pick up a lot and under Eamon, Brain [Noble] and Greeny [Lee Greenwood] so I can keep on progressing, learn more and add to my game.

“I am starting to do more minutes, I wanted to improve defensively and I feel I have added a lot in defence this year and next year will be a big build on putting everything together and being a fully rounded, complete player. 

“The fans’ support means the world to be honest, it is always nice to have people supporting you and it is a big reason why I do keep re-signing as fans make you feel welcome, it is nice to speak to them in the bar after games and it is really nice having fans as good as they are.”
