ELLIOTT DURRELL has linked up with his former Wrexham boss Andy Morrell at Tamworth after his release from the Welsh club.
The 25-year-old made his name at Hednesford Town, scoring 109 goals in 240 appearances for the Pitmen before moving into the professional game with Wrexham in January 2014.
Durrell had his Wrexham career interrupted by injuries and was released by new Dragons boss Gary Mills last month.
However, he is back with the man who took him to Wales, Morrell, and says that was a big reason why he decided to move to the Lambs.
“I’m really pleased to have signed for Tamworth,” he said. “As soon as I knew the club were interested in me, I was keen to come here and link up with Andy Morrell again.
“I can really relate to him and the chance to work together again was very appealing. This is a big club in the wrong League and my aim is to help them get back to where they belong.
“There are some strong teams in the league, but I am up for the challenge. I’ve scored goals at this level before and with the squad that is being assembled here, I hope that I can do it again.”
Morrell added: “I am really pleased to have Elliott on board. We lacked someone who could put the ball into the box last season, but we certainly have that now.
“It’s fair to say that he lost his way a bit last season, but he is eager to enjoy his football again and I know that he turned down some good offers from elsewhere to come to us.
“I am looking forward to working with him again and I will be looking to get his confidence up and see him firing on all cylinders again. He has done it at this level before and I know he can be a big success here.”
