Alex Kempster signs for York City

Alex Kempster has signed for National League North side York City. The 22 year old has been attracting interest from a number of higher ranked sides and recently spent a week on trial at League Two club Port Vale. This week he was offered a trial at York City and scored a hat trick for their reserve side in a Central League game today (Tuesday). Following this eye catching performance he was immediately offered professional terms with the Minstermen. He gave the following Interview to his new club.
Alex, who lives in Whitley Bay, progressed through the Reserves side and made his full first team debut in October 2013 at the aged of 18 against Spennymoor Town, scoring his first goal a few weeks later in an FA Vase victory over Runcorn Town. He quickly established himself in the first team and for the past four and a half years he has been a key member of the squad.
Alex, who has regularly captained the side this season, made 208 appearances and scored an impressive total of 54 goals, including a hat trick against West Auckland in December.
We would like to thank Alex for his superb service to Whitley Bay FC and we wish him the very best of luck in his professional career at York City.
