Thatcher, with an impressive goal scoring record of 13 in 18 matches for Eastwood goes straight in tonight's squad against Birstall. Prior to his short spell at Eastwood he was with Blidworth.

Thatcher was pleased to be joining. "I am absolutely delighted to be joining Hucknall Town, especially at the start of this new era and I am looking forward to playing at the fantastic new stadium in the coming weeks".

Manager Andy Ingle was equally excited at the prospects for his new striker. "He has a good goal scoring record, 13 in 18 is impressive. We are glad to get this over the line and we have high hopes and are confident that Jack will be an excellent addition to the squad".

Yellows face Birstall at Meadow Lane tonight in a 7.45pm kick off.
