Morpeth Town are delighted to announce that defender Curtis Coppen has signed a contract with the club for the 2017-18 season.

The 23-year-old won the FA Vase and Northumberland Senior Cup with North Shields during his time at the Daren Persson Stadium.

Coppen has played over 120 games for the Robins, and the centre-half is regarded as one of the best young defenders in North East non-league football

As part of the deal, midfielder Paul Robinson has gone the other way and has joined the Robins and we’d like to wish him the very best.
