HAYES & Yeading’s search for a new keeper took another twist this week as Craig Bradshaw signed for Westfield.

The former Farnborough goalkeeper featured between the sticks for Phil Babb’s side in pre-season but missed Saturday’s win over Arlesey Town. 

That omission cast doubt over whether he would be plying his trade with Conference South side next season.

And having failed to secure a deal with United, Bradshaw instead signed for Combined Counties side Westfield on Tuesday afternoon. 

It leaves Babb with a vacant number one shirt to fill before the big kick-off at home to Bromley on Saturday.
