FORMER captain Nathan Jukes will be back at Common Road next season.

Jukes has signed a deal to bring him from Malvern Town alongside striker Mark Owen, who has also plumped to follow former boss and new Evesham No 2 Neil Hunt from Malvern.

"I am delighted to have them both on board," United boss Paul west declared. "Nathan's a quality player and has got back his passion for the game after perhaps being unfairly treated during his previous spell at the club.

"Teaming up Mark alongside Richard Ball is a mouthwatering prospect and to steal him from under the noses of several other clubs is another bonus for us."
