Ramsbottom United are delighted to announce the signing of Jerome Wright. The 32-year-old former FC United of Manchester legend joins the Rams just in time for the 17/18 campaign after a brief stint with Altrincham.

Ramsbottom United manager Mark Fell has strengthened his backroom team by bringing in former Burnley, Preston, Rochdale and Wigan striker Graham Lancashire. The 44 year old who recently had a full time role in the Burnley Academy, will become assistant manager from the start of the 2017/18 season but will have an involvement in the Rams final three games of the season.

Following the 2-0 loss at home to Trafford, manager Mark Fell spoke to the RUFC website about the recent run of form, the controversy during the game and his thoughts for the remaining matches of the season. And striker Lee Gaskell speaks about his return to the club after 18 months away.

The Ramsbottom United Development squad/Reserves was created this season with a mandate of developing players to progress into the first team squad and supporting first team players back to fitness and form.

Ramsbottom United are looking to recruit a new 1st team physio for the 2017/18 season. This critical role, as part of the clubs management team, begins in late June when the players return for pre-season training.
