Knitters to fast track keeper

Blue Square Bet North club Hinckley United are hoping to rush goalkeeper Dan Haystead back into action when they go to Altrincham tonight.

Haystead was set to miss the rest of the season but he was on the bench for Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Guiseley.

With Patrick Lane leaving the club after one appearance and Denham Hinds injured, Haystead is being brought back in after breaking his arm in November.

Manager Dean Thomas said: "We’ve got another tough game on Tuesday at Altrincham, so they don’t get any easier.

"We’ve just got to keep going and we can’t afford to get despondent.

"We’ve got to go there, show our qualities and I hope some players are disappointed with their performances at the weekend because they are better than that.

"I’m hoping that Dan Haystead will be fit for Tuesday after Patrick leaves for Norway on Monday.

"He (Lane) showed his quality (against Guiseley), he’s a nice lad, and he deserves to be in the professional game."

Lane is moving to Scandinavia on trial in the hope of securing a professional deal. He has previously been with Leicester City, Blackburn Rovers and Cercle Brugge.
