Player Profiles - Brackley Town
Harrison Rhone
Young goalkeepers plying their trade in non-league is nothing new. Experience is pivotal to the role, and it seems like Rhone is slowly gaining this.
He joined Brackley on loan from Reading last season, and after impressing, he has returned for their campaign in National League North. Rhone’s performances even saw him earn a new contract with Reading; further showing their trust in him.
Kieron Morris
Morris has amassed over 350 appearances in the EFL, with an almost even spread between League One and League Two games. During this period, he featured for some relatively big clubs like Tranmere and Oldham.
However, he now applies his trade for the Saints, where he’s looking to provide some of the experience gained from his long stint in the football league.
