Josh Setchell Signs For Real Bedford
Real Bedford can confirm that winger Josh Setchell has signed for The Pirates ahead of the 2023/24 season.
The young winger who bagged 11 goals and 14 assists last season during his time at Harpenden has agreed to join Real Bedford bolstering Sinclair’s already impressive attacking options.
On signing for Bedford, Setchell said:
"This is a club where I believe I will be able to develop massively as a player and a person which really excites me. It’s a great group of lads with a positive and aspirational mindset which matches mine. I can’t wait to get stuck in."
Manager Rob Sinclair was pleased to get Setchell through the door;
“Josh is a player full of talent and potential. His footballing style is very direct and positive so we can expect a lot of goals and assists out of him this season. He’s another young player with good experience but a great character who fits into the playing squad perfectly."
Setchell has already made a positive impact in both pre-season games already played and will look to do so again this Tuesday as Real Bedford take on Kempston Rovers away from home.
We wish Josh all the best during his time here at McMullen Park.
