Fisayo ADARABIOYO (d.o.b. 1 February, 1995) Formerly No. 26

Fisayo Adarabioyo signed on 12 October 2020, his arrival being announced two days later and he made his debut on 27 October 2020 at Hartlepool.

He had impressed manager Phil Parkinson when scoring twice against Alty as a trialist for Curzon Ashton in a pre-season game in September 2020. He also played for Curzon in the FA Cup against FC United of Manchester and, before signing for Altrincham, he also turned out for Stafford Rangers in a home defeat to Hyde United.

He started out at Manchester City where his brother, Tosin, was on the club's books for many years. After moving on to Birmingham City, Fisayo subsequently moved to Perth to join Scottish Premier side, St Johnstone where he was in their under-20s' squad early in 2014 but, by the end of that year, he had moved south to Croydon and Crystal Palace.

After these travels he actually made his professional debut much closer to Altrincham, at Macclesfield Town, a club he had joined early in the 2015-16 season. He made one start and two more from the bench at the Moss Rose.

Next came a single substitute appearance with AFC Fylde's development team before his travels began again with a move to The Netherlands for the start of the 2016-17 season at NAC Breda, who gained promotion during his stay. Fisayo scored once in 12 substitute appearances in the regular league and appeared twice more as a sub in Breda's play-off games before moving to Dutch Second Division side, FC Oss, where he scored twice in 16 games and played one more game in a cup competition.

Early in 2019 Fisayo briefly joined Romanian Liga 3 team FC U Craiova 1948 where he made two appearances. In February 2020, he joined Warrington Town, for whom he made three appearances, scoring on his debut in an abandoned game. His Altrincham debut was delayed by the Covid-19 hiatus to the club's 2020-21 league fixtures, which started on the day of his signing.

By late November 2020 had started eight games for the club before injury sidelined him and he did not appear again till very near the end of the season when he appeared once as a used sub in game 38 of the league season.

His exclusion from the squad list issued on 12 July 2021 suggested his departure but he appeared again in pre-season and was described as a trialist. However, no announcement was made about his status before the 2021-22 season commenced so it was assumed that he is not part of Phil Parkinson's plans before this was belatedly confirmed. He then joined Ashton United.

Altrincham appearances: 8(+1), 2 goals (inc. a goal in the expunged game v Dover)

Barry BAGGLEY (d.o.b. 11 January 2002 in Belfast) Formerly No. 31

In only his second start for the club he was sent off at Solihull on 29 January 2022 and his three-match suspension meant that his spell at Altrincham ended prematurely.

Altrincham appearances: 2(+1)

Following two pre-season appearances as a substitute, on 5 August 2021 Altrincham announced the signing of former Liverpool, Wigan Athletic and Hull City youngster, James Berry.

He went immediately on loan to the newly formed Macclesfield FC and the loan was extended in January 2022 until the end of the 2021-22 season. But on 10 March 2022 it was announced that Berry had joined Macclesfield on a permamanet basis for an "undisclosed fee", having scored 11 times in 32 appearances for the Silkmen at NW Counties Premier level (step five).

He joined Wigan Athletic in December 2016 after spending almost a decade at Liverpool. Three years later Hull City signed him and he made his debut as a substitute in the Championship in 2020. He left The Tigers by mutual agreement in summer 2021.

Altrincham appearances: 0.

With five defenders out injured as the 2021-22 season got under way, Joe was signed by Phil Parkinson on 24 August 2021, having made his only pre-season game for Altrincham, three days earlier, behind closed doors against Huddersfield Town "B".

After playing briefly for both Kendal Town and Stockport County in 2012, he spent time at Northwich Victoria (2012-13). However, it was a five-year spell (2013-18) at Spotland that he made his mark in the Football League, making more than 120 appearamces for Rochdale.

Next he joined Northampton Town (2018-19), for whom he made 16 appearances and he also turned out five times, on loan, for Blackpool, as well as a further 16 outings back at Rochdale on loan (2019).

He was signed by troubled Bolton Wanderers but after a couple of appearances moved back into non-League, very briefly with Matlock Town, before moving to help Hartlepool United as they regained their Football League status in 2021.

Curiously in 2020-21 he later turned out for a club which swapped its League status with the Pools, as he had five games for relegation-bound Grimsby Town. After leaving Altrincham in October 2021, he joined Warrington Rylands.

Chris made a promising Altrincham debut, in a no.10 role, on 5 February 2022 against Woking. But early in his second game, at King's Lynn, a foul tackle led to his being stretchered off and the extent of the injury meant that his loan was curtailed, as was announced on 15 February 2022.

Altrincham appearances: 2, 0 goals.

David FITZPATRICK (d.o.b. 28 February 1990 in Stretford) Fomerly no.19

At that point he joined Nantwich Town and followed manager Phil Parkinson to Altrincham in summer 2017.

Although his Altrincham appearances in 2017 were more often from the bench than from kick-off, by mid-November 2017 he had participated in more Altrincham games than any other member of the squad and had weighed in with some important goals. 2018-19 also saw him primarily deployed as a substitute but on 1 November 2018 it was announced that he had opted to move to FC United in the hope of more consistent game time. Ironically he left Moss Lane whilst top of the chart for goals scored per minutes played in 2018/19 season!

Simon Richman's departure from Altrincham was announced on 21 June 2021, a decade after his arrival at Moss Lane. His versatility meant that, during his stay, he had worn every outfield shirt at Alty except no.3.

Simon was a product of the Bolton Wanderers' academy and the Port Vale youth system. He broke through into the Valiants' first team in League One in 2007-08 and made 48 League appearances for them in all, mostly in 2008-09 in League Two, when he was voted the club's Young Player of the Season. Simon then suffered a groin injury which kept him out of action for several months and, though he made five first-team League Two appearances for Vale in 2009-10, he was released at the end of that campaign. In summer 2010, he had trials with Southport and Worcester City, before joining City and making eight league appearances in the Blue Square Bet North.

Simon became Lee Sinnott's first signing at Altrincham in summer 2011 but his early Alty career was marred by injuries and illness. Having mostly played in right midfield, Simon completed the campaign in central midfield, a position he also played in during 2012-13. Summer 2013 saw him as an integral part of the Great Britain Universities' team which won the silver medal in the world games in Kazan, Russia.

His energy in midfield is an important feature of the team. Outside football, Simon has a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Manchester.

His 2015-16 season was disrupted by an injury in late August but he then re-established himself as a regular starter. 2016-17 also saw him as a regular starter, though some games were missed through injury. Early 2017-18 also saw him miss games through injury before re-establishing himself as a regular starter. Towards the end of that season he played impressively at right-back as well as in midfield.

Simon figured chiefly as a substitute during the early part of 2018-19 season and by the end of that campaign he had made twenty appearances each as a starter and as a used substitute. Simon had re-established himself in midfield before suffering a hamstring injury in January 2020.

In 2020-21 Simon generally was named as a substitute, making only four starts plus nine from the bench.

Prior to rejoining Alty, he had had another spell with the Bay, and had also played for FC Halifax Town where he was part of their promotion squad from Conference North. Earlier, he also spent time with Stockport County, Vauxhall Motors, Hyde and Skelmersdale United.

After 25(+12) appearances for Altrincham, Sean was surprisingly released by Altrincham at the end of the 2014-15 season and, like his ex-Alty team-mates Kyle Perry and David Parton, he joined Hednesford Town for 2015-16.
