Keynsham Town FC – Player Profiles 2020/21

Goalkeeper
Ashley Clark – Ash joined the Ks 2 years ago and brings a wealth of experience between the sticks. He has been
a member of Western League Premier Division winning sides at both Bishop Sutton and Bristol Manor Farm and
securing his signature was a real coup for the club.
Defenders
Tauren Williams – Tauren signed for the 2016/17 season, joining us after 3 years at Almondsbury. He began his
youth career with Bristol Academy FC whilst at college, playing in central midfield and at right back. Tauren has
become a vital member of the First Team squad.
Nathan Curnock – joined the Ks for the 2015/16 season and made the left-back slot his own after previously
playing as a left winger. Pacy and adds useful height to our defence at set pieces, although doesn’t usually net until
Christmas has been and gone. Was unfortunate to miss all of the curtailed 2019-20 season with a serious hip injury,
but is fully fit and raring to go now.
Mike Grist – Gristy is another ex-Wells city player who has played under John for many years; a no-nonsense
centre half, he joined the Ks 2 years ago from Bristol Telephones, making his debut at Radstock Town. Also chips in
with some vital goals and forms part of the famed “Mitchell Brothers” centre-half duo when paired with Scott
Saunders!.
Jordan Anstey – has been at the club since his junior days, and has matured into a confident centre half. Can also
cover at left back or midfield and his versatility has been vital for the Ks.
Danny Lock – joined the Ks last season from our neighbours Hengrove Athletic, and slotted easily into the team
at left-back. Had one or two injury problems before the season was cancelled, but will be vying with Nathan Curnock
for the left-back spot this season.
Jack Dancey – a new signing this summer from Southern League Larkhall Athletic, Jack is comfortable anywhere
in defence or midfield. He actually started out as a Ks junior before moving away to college at 16, and also has
Northern League experience with Consett and Whitley Bay from his time at Durham University.
George Rooke – a local lad (lives within sight of Crown Fields) who, after 2 years with Bath City’s Academy, broke
into the First Team squad last season after some impressive performances for our successful Reserve side.
Sam Kipling – another lad who has forced his way into the First Team picture from our Reserves, Kips captained
our successful Somerset Floodlit Youth League Under 18s a few years ago. Can cover a variety of positions in
defence or central midfield.
Midfielders
Harley Purnell – it was a major coup when Harley decided to join the Ks back in January 2018 after 4 very
successful years with Bristol Manor Farm with whom he gained promotion to the Southern League. He has an
excellent football brain and is a born leader, taking the captain’s armband since his arrival.
