Hinckley AFC have boosted our attacking options with the signing of former Coleshill, Long Eaton and Nuneaton man James Spruce.
The management team have moved to add experienced forward Spruce, who was a Welsh youth international in 2017 and has since played at a good level in the Midlands.
Joint boss Ross Innes said: “We’re delighted to welcome James to the club. He’s a player we’ve admired for a long time and someone we’ve previously tried to sign during our time at Atherstone Town.
“James is a proven, prolific goal scorer and we have no doubt he’ll go on to score a lot of goals for us. His pedigree speaks for itself and we’re confident he’ll be a real fans’ favourite.”
James earned national youth honours with Wales as he was coming through the ranks at Bristol Rovers, but gained his first taste of senior football with Gloucester City.
A move further into the Midlands saw him join Heather St John’s, where he plundered 30 goals on the way to a sixth-placed finish at step five four seasons ago.
And those exploits earned him a move to higher levels – featuring at step four for Sutton Coldfield Town, Gresley Rovers and Coleshill, and at step three for Long Eaton.
He joined Nuneaton in the summer of 2024, contributing 14 goals towards their step six title win last term, and having left there earlier this season, arrives at Hinckley from there via a brief stint at Sutton United.
Welcome to Hinckley, James!
