Firth is Nomads' new stopper

Connah's Quay Nomads are delighted to announce the signing of 25-year-old goalkeeper, Andy Firth.

Ripon-born Firth spent much of his youth at the Liverpool Academy with spells at both Chester and Barrow where he would gain vital experience in the National League before making his move north of the border to join Scottish giants Rangers in January 2019.

Firth would make his Rangers debut against Kilmarnock in May 2019, just two months before The Nomads dumped Kilmarnock out of the Europa League at Rugby Park.

In early June, Firth announced that he would be leaving Rangers after three and a half years at Ibrox having made some amazing memories in being part of the squad which won the 55th league title and also made the Europa League Final against Eintracht Frankfurt.

On Firth's arrival, Head Coach Craig Harrison commented; "We are very pleased to get Andy all done and dusted as we have been working hard to bring another goalkeeper in following Ollie Byrne's departure.

Neil Ebbrell has done a fantastic job over the years in recruiting some great goalkeepers for the club and I'm sure Andy will be another one.

Andy has great pedigree having spent the best part of 10 years with Liverpool and Glasgow Rangers whilst also having two spells on loan at National Premier league teams."

Firth made his Nomads debut in the 5-0 victory over Llandudno on Tuesday night, making a good early save from a Llandudno free kick before going on to keep a clean sheet.

Welcome to The Nomads Andy!
