Twelve months ago NAFC finished as champions of the Northern League Division One and clinched promotion into the Northern Premier League – East. Following a tough start to the season, the team quickly adapted to life in the higher league and steadily climbed the table. Victories against all the top teams showed that NAFC were completely settled in their new environment. The team spent several weeks in the playoff positions. At the end of the season, the team were only five points outside the playoff places, finishing in an extremely credible seventh place.
This resulted in the club achieving their HIGHEST POSITION in the English Football Pyramid since the clubs inception in 1965.
Immense credit goes to team manager Brian Atkinson and his back room staff. The players, who all excelled each and every game. Several managers from visiting teams remarked that our team played the best football in the league.
Special mention to three players; Marc Costello (Supporters Player of the Year + Players Player of the Year), Liam Adamson (Player of the Year + Top Goal Scorer) & Jack Clarkson (Young Player of the Year). And, above all, chairman Allan Oliver for his unwavering leadership. Success wouldn’t have been possible without the endeavours of the club officials and the many match-day volunteers. A massive thank you for the vital support from the fans and club sponsors.
The club would like to reach out to all the residents of Newton Aycliffe and businesses across the town, to ask for even more support next season, we can’t achieve the continuous success without you.
During the weeks leading up to next season, watch out for regular updates on improvements to the ground, new merchandise in the club shop, activities to enhance the match-day experience, 2024/25 season tickets and much more.
