STAR striker Craig Pountney has pledged his future to Studley BKL after signing a contract with the Midland Football Alliance side.

The young marksman has netted 18 goals so far this season including 14 in the league making him the MFA's top scorer.

But his exploits in front of goal have brought him to the attention of other sides around the area who have tried in vain to lure him away from the Beehive.

Dr Martens League sides Atherstone United and Redditch United are thought to be among the clubs tracking Pountney's progress with fellow MFA sides Rushall Olympic, Stourbridge and Bromsgrove Rovers also keen on the free-scoring frontman.
