Waiting game pays off as Hebburn Town land defender Dan Myers
Defender Dan Myers has become Hebburn Town’s latest new signing ahead of the National League North season.
Daniel Moore has revealed he has been a long-term admirer of defender Dan Myers after he became Hebburn Town’s latest summer signing.
The versatile full-back gained experience at an early age with Northern League club Crook Town before moving on to a higher level with then-Northern Premier League outfit Marske United and National League North side Spennymoor Town. A loan spell at Blyth Spartans followed during the 2024/25 campaign before Myers made a permanent switch to Morpeth Town last summer.
The 24-year-old was unable to prevent the Highwaymen from suffering relegation from the Northern Premier League Premier Division - but that has not prevented Hebburn from handing him an opportunity to impress as they prepare for a first ever season in the National League North. Moore believes his latest signing will add balance to his squad and stressed just how importance his versatility could be throughout the new season.
He said: "Dan is another young hungry player who has played at National League North level. We explored getting him in at the start of last season, but it wasn’t something we could do, but soon as the season finished he was on my list to go and get. As always when I look at players, he can play in multiple positions defensively and physically can handle plenty of games as well as bringing a balance to the squad being a left sided player."
Myers added: "I'm delighted to get the deal done and to be with Hebburn. I've played against them a few times over the last few years and it's always a tough test, so I'm looking forward to being on the other side of that."
