New Signings | Finishing Touches
We're delighted to polish our squad with three important additions in midfield and attack.
Kiefer Cole, Conal Gallagher and Max Leonard complete Lee Rick and Steve Yarwood's outfield recruitment ahead of the 2026/27 season.
Kiefer Cole
The exciting winger has featured well in pre-season and adds an important creative option at the top of the pitch.
LR: "We're incredibly excited to be working with this Kiefer this season. He's been a real breath of fresh air since joining up with the First Team at the beginning of preseason. His enthusiasm and desire to express himself on the pitch is incredibly refreshing and he's certainly the type of player who can get supporters off their seats.
We believe the club can provide him with an excellent platform to continue developing and progress throughout the season.."
Conal Gallagher
The former Glossop and Ramsbottom man adds important midfield quality and has already opened his West account, scoring at Abbey Hey last week.
LR: "Conal is a player I know extremely well and having worked with previously. He's a consistent performer at this level, possesses an excellent attitude and will be a fantastic addition to the group both on and off the pitch.
From our very first conversation, he was extremely keen to join West and play his part in helping the club achieve its ambitions this season. I have no doubt that his quality, consistency and character will make him a key player for us, and I'm sure he will play a big role in helping us achieve what we have set out to accomplish."
Max Leonard
The experienced forward joins West after three years in the NPL with Stalybridge Celtic and brings star quality to our attack..
LR: "We're really excited to announce the signing of Max as the latest addition to the squad.
He's a player who we believe is the final piece of the jigsaw for what we are trying to build. He brings genuine star quality and significant experience of playing at a higher level.
His personality and experience will add another important dimension to the group and bring excellent value both on and off the pitch, and we believe he's a fantastic fit for the direction in which we are moving as a football club."
