THE OPPOSITION
Brighouse finished last season sitting in seventh place in the Northern Premier League Division One East table with 54 points.
Managed by Vill Powell, the Yorkshire Payments Stadium is familiar territory for some of our B Team ‘keepers, with both Giosue Bellagambi and Michael Acquah joining Brighouse on loan last season.
ONES TO WATCH
Jack Boyle
A familiar name to many, the former Town man - pictured above - spent time at Clyde FC and Thackley following his departure from the Terriers, before joining Brighouse in January 2020. The 24-year-old can play behind the striker or out wide, and is renowned for his free-kicks and penalties. The attacking midfielder won Brighouse’s Fans Player of the Season award last season.
Laurence Sorhaindo
Sorhaindo, pictured below, signed for Brighouse from Toolstation Northern Counties East League Premier Division side Silsden ahead of the 2020/21 campaign. The striker was the Club’s top goalscorer last season, netting 23 league goals, as well as the Player’s Player of the Year. His pace and strength make him one for Town’s Young Terriers to keep at bay.
