Introducing Westbury United A.F.C.

immense playing either right or left back. After playing many years in midfield, has made the
full back position his own. Bags of energy, very intelligent, loves to throw in a shimmy and
can pop up with a goal. Never known a player be so different on the pitch to off it. Speaks
really well in the changing room and is huge for the club. Works for a bank and lives with
his partner, Gina. Has loads of cats. Previous clubs include Bradford Town and Frome Town.
Kind of Manchester United fan, but not really.
Aaron Cockerill – A new addition to the club this season, Aaron is a tall, left footed
defender who can play left back or centre half. Cool, calm and collected both on and off the
pitch with a lovely left foot. A player we have been after for a couple of seasons so delighted
to have him with us. Previous clubs include Shepton Mallet and Warminster Town.
Ryan Bole – Ryan is an attacking left back who is a strong runner and has a hammer of a
left foot. Has scored some huge goals for the clubs since he has been with us. When he gets
into his stride, anything can happen! A great guy off the pitch, very angry on it! Had a few
injury problems last season so will be looking to get those behind him and have a full season
this year. Is with the lovely Casey who is one of our best WAGs and comes to pretty much
every game, has even been known to jump on a beer bus now and then! Previous clubs
include Melksham Town and Devizes Town.

Bevan Cross-Bevan joined us from Bristol Manor Farm and has displayed some silky skills
out on the wing so far.
Kurt James – Kurt joined the club last season and stepped in at centre half when needed
and performed well. An experienced left sided centre half who will go to war on the pitch.
He has become a big personality around the club and even stepped into the commercial
manager role in the summer. Kurt does a lot around the club, helping with organising all
sorts of things and being a good source of support for the management team. Another good
talker in the changing room and hopefully can get over his knee injury and get back on the
pitch. Tells us he’s an engineer by day but we’re not convinced! Proud father and partner to
Meg. Previous clubs include Trowbridge Town, Warminster Town, Lebeq and Bradford Town.
Manchester United fan.
Ben Griffiths – Last year’s vice-captain but had a horrible ACL injury that cut short his
season. Ben is fully on the road to recovery, and we should get him back in the new year. A
joy of a footballer, lovely on the ball, great passing range and has a really good footballing
brain. Is predominately a central midfield player but has played at full back for us also. A
lovely guy off the pitch, looks after himself and has been known to get into some bad ways
after a few drinks. Occasionally brings his legend partner Jodie to games. Wants to be a
full-time football coach but currently is working for a quarry company! Previous clubs include
Aylesbury Town and Frome Town. Arsenal fan.

Emmanuel Adepitan – ‘Manny’ is a new signing for the club after impressing during pre-
season. A tough tackling, all action midfielder, Manny brings a different quality and defensive
balance to the midfield area. A quiet guy off the pitch but certainly likes a sing song on an
away trip! Manny is a teaching assistant and runs his own online trainer company, Eakickz.
He has recently moved to Melksham from Bath with his partner. Previous club is Odd Down.
Will Thomson – A glorious midfield player. Has been with the club for four seasons now
and has grown into a brilliant player. Loads of work rate, drives with the ball better than
most, clever with the ball and has started scoring some goals. Amazing in the changing
room, just because he brings so much ammo for the lads to have a pop at him. Is apparently
an accountant but he is terrible with numbers. Previous clubs include Melksham Town and
Chippenham Park.
