Interview with new signing Charlie Comyn-Platt
The club website
www.westonsupermareafc.co.uk was delighted to be given the opportunity to officially welcome new signing Charlie Comyn-Platt to Weston super Mare Football Club last night.
Charlie, full of enthusiasm, and looking every inch the commanding and dominating centre-back that manager Tony Ricketts has been looking for. In an exclusive interview with Club communications officer, Alan Cooper, Charlie, spoke enthusiastically and openly, on his signing for the Seagulls:
“I’m very pleased to be here at Weston super Mare Football Club…..I knew Ash (Ashan Holgate)- and he is still a close friend - from our time together at Swindon Town, and he told me what a great set up it is here at Weston and I was aware too that the manager (Tony Ricketts) and the assistant manager (Chris Smith) wanted to talk to me, so I met up with them (the manager and Chris Smith) after the match at Bath City recently and they convinced me that I should sign, and I’m extremely pleased to have done so!
They’re a really great bunch of lads here and they’ve all made me really welcome, and I know I’m going to be happy here. I’m not as fit as I’d like to be at the moment, but once I get back into my top fitness it won’t take me long! The lads were good to play with last weekend at St Albans at we did well as a unit; I really enjoyed my first game for the Seagulls!
I’m really looking forward to playing my first game at the Woodspring Stadium this coming weekend (against Cambridge City), if selected, and I will give it my all.
From what I’ve seen from the lads so far we have a great set up here and the lads certainly have the all round ability to make a go of things this season, and I see of no reason why we shouldn’t have a go at reaching the Play-Offs”.
Manager Tony Ricketts added:
“Charlie is a really good signing for us and he did very well for us in his first game for the club at St Albans last Saturday. If we can get him to his top fitness level and playing to his strengths then, he is another player who I see no reason why he shouldn’t get back into the Football League. You are going to get your odd ‘hiccup’ here and there, as was the case against Bishop’s Stortford and Eastleigh recently, but we have to all realise that we are a young squad (8 of the lads are under 21 and no other clubs in the Football Conference have as young a squad as we do) and we are building for the future here at Weston super Mare Football Club
Good hope he does well I like CCP
