Well, at least he should be a useful impact player to bring on from the subs bench for the last 15-20 minutes of those matches when Watmore is exhibiting signs of tiring.

Hats off to the Alty Board and manager for their diligence and Damian Reeves for his integrity.

The Gainsborough Trinity fans forum must be in utter meltdown by now.

Great to have him back at Moss Lane for the impending campaign.

Now, if we could just tempt Twiss out of retirement to play alongside Reeves, the promotion jigsaw would be almost complete.....

Totally ecstatic at the news  ;D ;D ;D ;D He's a top guy and really I don't know why we are so surprised as we did know how genuine he is. If he plays as well again this season, then we must accept that he may get a FL gig one day, maybe in January? who knows.

Does this mean Mr McGivern,... who appears to have gone AWOL,... may not return?

Yes fantastic news. Imagine it another way, that someone who had scored 44 league goals for another BSN team had signed for us, we'd never sign them.

So well done to all concerned, particularly Damien Reeves for actually making a great decision and being the first footaller in history almost to do so.

He's especially good in that his goals come about whether we are playing well or not.

Gainsbourgh fans have a 9 post thread on the subject

Including a comment from Mr Chairman

Pleased he made a decision, things were dragging on for him and to be honest knew it would be difficult to pull him away from Alty. However a talented and down to earth lad who deserved a bit of interest from clubs with ambition.
We are going forward as a club and to not be involved in trying to bring lads like Damien to the club would be a travesty. Not many other clubs had put deals on the table so we did what we could. However his loyalty to Alty should be praised and I wish him all the best for the future, although not in the games against us!

There are a couple of Gillingham fans slagging him off on their forum about his attitude. So lets hope we draw Gillingham in the 1st Round and Damian bags a hat-trick against them to show them what they have missed out on.

In fairness, that's a gracious enough message from the Gainsborough chairman. At least he's not thoroughly unpleasant. Just misguided.

Fantastic news, hopefully it will give the rest of the squad a boost too.

Who would have guessed that goal-machines are ten-a-penny in the Football League. ;D

Indeed, Martin Allen was sure he'd score goals in league two but wanted him to go away for two weeks?

If we got a offered a striker who we knew would score goals at the level we're playing at I'm not sure I'd let him leave the building never mind ask him to go away for two weeks.

Bizarre.

This is BRILLIANT!! I can once again tell my friends that Altrincham have signed the top scorer in English football.
Well done Reeves, you are fast becoming a true Alty legend, and I hope you do get the chance to play regular league football soon (but not too soon. Get Alty into the automatic promotion place first).

Unbelievable news. Was away in Tipperary for the weekend and have only just read the news now. Never thought I'd see that happen as I was sure some League club would come in for him.....their loss is certainly our gain and if he continues where he left of, it surely won't be too long before he realises his ambition of league football, but in the meantime welcome back Reevesy.

COME ON ALTY

Annoyingly, he was actually just pipped to that accolade by Wealdstone's Richard Jolly, who scored 48 goals:

There's always next season though!
