Manager Karl Marginson has known Jamie for a number of years since he was at Radcliffe Borough and is thrilled to have him on board. Margy said: "He has a wonder of a left foot, is an intelligent player and works hard for the team."??

Baguley, who FC United fans may remember scored a stunning freekick equaliser for Salford against the Reds last season during our 2-1 defeat at the Willows, said: "I’m very pleased to be joining FC United,"?? before cheekily adding: "I’m much better than my brother."??

Thomson who joins form Barrow, has played at conference level and as a professional in Holland for NAC Breda. Margy commented: "I’m pleased to sign a very experienced striker,"?? and described Thomson as, "a striker very much in the Stuart Rudd mould."??

A clearly delighted Thomson said: "I’m over the moon about joining arguable the best nonleague side in the country."??
