Alex Hardwick leaves Stocksbridge

Alex Hardwick has departed Stocksbridge Park Steels and has signed for Ilkeston Town.

Hardwick signed for the Steels in the summer from Carlton Town after being their leading scorer in the 2023/24 season. He continued his goalscoring form for Stocksbridge, scoring 11 goals in all competitions.

He will now make the step up to play for the Northern Premier League Premier Division side and link up with former Steel Declan Eratt-Thompson.

The club would like to thank Hardwick for his time with the club and wish him the best of luck with his move.
