FOOTBALL – Alvechurch announce double signing after player departures

ALVECHURCH have completed two new signings ahead of the upcoming 2026/27 season.

Full back Jack Kelly and midfielder Nick Clayton-Phillips have joined the Lye Meadow club.

Kelly arrives following spells with local rivals Bromsgrove Sporting and Redditch United.

The 30-year-old left back also spent time as Kettering Town, Sporting Khalsa and Walsall Wood.

And Clayton-Phillips makes a return to Alvechurch after he previously spent three years with the club.

The former West Bromwich Albion academy player featured for Church from 2021 to 2024.

Following his departure from Lye Meadow, he featured for Halesowen Town, Redditch, Bromsgrove and most recently Rushall Olympic.

However, he had now returned to the club for a second stint at Alvechurch.

The signings come after the club recently revealed their retained and released list with four players to depart Lye Meadow.
