Congratulations to Matlock Town striker Billy Whitehead who became the 35th NPLFA student to make his first team debut this afternoon in the Gladiators 2-0 home win over Workington.
The second year student has been in fine goalscorer form this season for the academy and reserves and has now made the huge step up into first team football.
Well done Billy and keep working hard!
