Marske United are delighted to confirm the signing, subject to League and FA approval, of experienced striker Adam Boyes who has played solely at Step 1 and 2 of the non-league pyramid throughout his career.
Boyes started his career at York City, making his 1st team debut in 2008, aged 18 and appeared in the 2009 FA Trophy final for the Minstermen, where they lost 2-0 to Stevenage Borough. The 6 foot 2 inch striker also had a trial with Manchester United the same season before signing for then Championship side Scunthorpe United for a 6 figure fee. Boyes didn’t appear in the Scunthorpe first team and had loan spells at York and Kidderminster before signing for Boston United permanently in January 2011. Boyes made 19 appearance, scoring 6 goals in the 2010/11 season but was released at the end of the season and signed for Conference Premier side Barrow, where he was a huge success scoring 29 goals in 85 games before moving to Gateshead in May 2013 making 12 appearance before signing for Conference North Guiseley on loan in January 2014, where he was an instant success scoring 15 goals in 24 games, including a streak where he scored in 11 consecutive games. The move was made permanent in May 2014 and Boyes continued his scoring success ending with 31 goals in 115 appearances. At the end of his contract with Guiseley he made the move to fellow Conference North side Bradford Park Avenue where he continued his goal scoring feats grabbing an impressive 20 goals in 41 games. Boyes then moved to Spennymoor Town in 2018 on a 3 year deal but was released at the end of the 2019/20 season.
Boyes will become the first Marske United player to have appeared for the England C (Non-League) team making 3 appearances between 2009 – 2012 against Malta Under 21s, Gibraltar and Italy.
The signing of Adam is arguably the biggest in the history of the club and a huge coup for Marske United, demonstrating the ambition of the club to move up to the next level of the non-league pyramid.
On Speaking to the Club website Manager Carl Jarrett said " I am absolutely over the moon to get a player like Adam to Marske. I am really looking forward to working with him. He's a massive signing for the club and shows how serious we are of moving forward.
This is further good news on the recruitment side for supporters and shows the ambition of the club on and off the pitch. And with supporters getting behind the " All Marske United Together Appeal" things are really looking up for Marske United.
