Ben
Jones
Wayne
Farrugia
A goalkeeper that has been to many clubs as a youth player including,
Bristol City, Reading and Forest Green Rovers. He has been at
Stonehouse since he was 16 years old. He has progressed through the
ranks from being a regular 4th teamer to become a long standing first
team regular. Regarded as Stonehouse’s version of Peter Schmeichel
(well, they both have two hands) he’s worth 12 points a season,
usually to the opposition!
Ben’s 2nd year has been as good as his first where he won Players’
Player Of The Year last year to endorse his popularity at the Club. A
strong running and hard tackling full back with an eye for goal,
especially when his Dad offers him £5 a goal – offset by own goals, he
is in debt to his Dad by £15 so far!
Jamie started young for Matchplay 2nds at the age of 13 years, and as
1st team captain for Matchplay took them to Stroud League 3 glory,
before switching to the Magpies. He is renowned for his heading
ability, scoring numerous goals whilst being the number one defender
(behind H!). He was a 2nd team regular before taking his chance in the
1st team with both hands and has not looked back since.
Ben Jones joined Stonehouse from King Stanley this year and has
established himself as number one choice at left back. His good feet,
energy and work rate makes him stand out on the left hand side. He’s
also chipped in with his fair amount of goals
Wayne is a player that has come up through the Stonehouse youth
system and has established himself as a hard working central
midfielder. Wayne is a 100 percenter with a box to box attitude,
Wayne is having a good season and is also popping up with a few
important goals.

Town Staff
Alex is in his 3rd season at Stonehouse and is club captain. He has had
a good season scoring 15 goals so far from centre midfield. Alex is a
club person and is turning out to be a most loyal servant, helping out
at Committee meetings and volunteer work around the ground and at
training, besides making huge contributions on the pitch…when sat on
the mower!
Liam is also from the King Stanley youth system where he was a
prolific goal scorer at all age groups. Liam is now in his first full season
with Stonehouse and is settling in very nicely, he was very close to
becoming the league’s top goal scorer last season…but wasn’t quite
good enough!!!
Andy is a strong yet silky (or was that ‘sickly’?) centre forward who
sets many players up for an easy goal whilst scoring a fair few too.
Andy was part of the King Stanley youth system where he was a
proven goal scorer. He has been at Forest Green and Cheltenham
Town development centres but he broke his ankle and this ended his
youth progression.
Adam is another player from the King Stanley youth system, who has
experience playing in the County League with King Stanley, as well as
Slimbridge and now in the Northern Senior League at Stonehouse
Town. He is a versatile midfielder with good close ball skills.
Brad Moore is a local lad that has experience with Stonehouse and
King Stanley in the County League. He’s returned to where he started
and is turning into an outstanding central midfielder that can also play
wide.
A new recruit to Stonehouse this term after playing for the successful
Didmarton team that now find themselves in Stroud Division 1. Lee is
an ever running striker/attacking midfielder with a decent strike on
him (ask anyone who saw that goal at Broadwell last season!). He has
joined Stonehouse to climb the footballing pyramid where he is
adapting very quickly to life in the County League
Tim has been a key part of the Stonehouse Town set up for nearly 10
years. He has risen up through the ranks from the 4ths and now to 1st
team captain. Tim is a former Swindon Town and Coventry City centre
of excellence player, and has also played for Swansea University’s first
team. A major knee injury meant he was out for 18 months but Tim is
now back to his best football. He is a versatile player that can play
anywhere on the field, including centre back. Regularly travels from
his home in Oxfordshire to play for his beloved Magpies.
Ryan has been with the club for a couple of years now after moving
down from London. He is a regular 2nd teamer who has been with the
1st team on a number of occasions, especially in the County Cup. He is
establishing himself as a striker at the club and with a few more goals
he will be able to push for a 1st team spot. A versatile player who can
also play in midfield, a good asset to the club.
