Dugdale is a left winger who has experience in the NCEL playing for the likes of Albion Sports, Thackley, and the club he started this season with, Pontefract Collieries, who are now members of the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Division One East.

He told the club`s website why he decided to join Eccleshill: "I am happy to sign. It's a good move for me to be fair, began at the season with Pontefract and it didn't work out and I wasn't really enjoying it so hopefully I can start enjoying it again," he said on his decision to move.”

The midfielder will be looking to make an immediate mark and he shouldn't struggle to fit in as he already has several connections at the club.

"I have played with a few of the lads before at Albion Sports and Thackley, I know Sam Bradley, Liam Hudson, so that's a good thing," he said.

As someone who loves to attack, up and down the wing, Dugdale will be aiming to help the Eagles goal tally, and his personal aim for the season shows a clear sign of that.

"Personally, I would like to hit 10 to 15 goals and plenty of assists, and obviously I would love to finish as high as possible with the club and maybe even get a run with one of the cups".
