Reality TV star Jake Quickenden is still in the squad, but is said to be nursing a knee injury from the Dancing on Ice tour so may not be fit, Leverton SFC’s Giles Elson says.

On the confirmation of Wes Brown as a player, Mr Elson said: “There has been a lot of talk of taking on a Champions League winner and a Premier League winner. It’s still sinking in really.”
