Craig Adams secures the youngster for a third season at Compton Park.
WILLIAM BATES

Former Clubs; Corby Town U18, Northampton Town
Will first joined the Cooks back in 2019 on work experience during his time at Northampton Town and quickly made his debut at home to Quorn. He made 16 appearances in all that season, scoring two goals, both against our local rivals Wellingborough. He netted in both games helping us to win 3-2 at home and then in a 4-4 draw at the Dog & Duck. Last season he played in all 15 games before the season came to an early finish and has really impressed the Compton Park faithful with his 100% effort in every game, backed up with a real talent on the ball. For a lad that is still only 18, he has played in 31 of the 32 matches the Cooks have played since he signed for us, a superb achievement for someone so young and a great signing for Craig Adams.
