Ossett United set to play Huddersfield Town and Sheffield Wednesday sides in pre-season matches
Ossett United will take on two Football League sides as part of their preparations for next season in the NPL East.
Huddersfield Town and Sheffield Wednesday will both be bringing sides to Ingfield to take on Dave Wild’s side next month.
Ossett’s pre-season fixtures begin with a trip to play Ilkley on Saturday, July 6 (3pm) before they face League One Huddersfield on Wednesday, July 10 (7.30pm) and Championship club Sheffield Wednesday two nights later, again with a 7.30pm kick-off.
United travel to Ramsbottom on Saturday, July 20 (3pm) and host Hemsworth MW the following Tuesday (7.30pm). They are looking to fix up another friendly for the last Saturday in July.
Ossett, meanwhile, have continued to add to their squad for next season with two further additions.
Fiji under 20 international forward Ollie McFadyen is linking up with manager Wild again after a spell with him at Runcorn Linnets.
Wild said: “Ollie is a player I know extremely well from my previous club. As soon as I knew I was coming to Ossett I knew I wanted Ollie with me.
"His style of play and attacking minded outlook is exactly why I want him with us, he’s the type of player that can win a game on his own and I know everyone at the club will love him from game one.
“This is another signing that we’ve completed early and I couldn’t be happier to welcome him aboard.”
He is joined by full-back or midfielder Adam Blakeley, who has arrived from Hallam.
“He’s a young talent with vast experience at higher levels,” said Wild.
"He is a player that I’ve worked with previously at Matlock and the addition of him to the squad is a real positive step in the right direction for the club as a whole.
“Personally I see him as a right sided defender but his adaptability will be a huge asset for the club in the coming season.
"Adam really fits the bill for the club‘s future as a young hungry footballer who wants to progress up the levels at a sensible steady rate whilst showing us what he can do.
“I’m sure everybody including myself and the board will welcome Adam to the club and I have no doubts at all that he will firmly become a favourite of the supporters."
