Consett today gave their fans a belated festive treat in the shape of a new striker, signing Scott Heslop from Dunston.

The 27-year-old is a hard-working forward who made his name at Chester-le-Street Town, where he was a prolific goalscorer, helping them win promotion in 2015-16.

His first season at Dunston, 2016-17, saw him end up as top scorer, with 17 league goals.

After they were promoted he adapted well to the Northern Premier League, winning three individual awards in the 2019-20 season.
