Wayne Hatswell Signs For Cambridge United
Rushden & Diamonds defender Wayne Hatswell has today signed for Cambridge United for an undisclosed fee.
Hatswell started his career at Forest Green Rovers, with spells at Oxford United, Chester City and Kidderminster Harriers. Wayne was bought to Nene Park by Barry Hunter in January 2006 from Kidderminster, featuring regularly in central defence and as a wing-back throughout his time at Diamonds.
This season the 32-year old defender has made 22 Blue Square Premier appearances; scoring three goals for Diamonds, most recently in the 1-0 home win over Northwich Victoria on 29th December 2007.
Manager, Garry Hill commented "I was approached by Cambridge who requested permission to speak to Wayne and who were prepared to pay a substantial five figure transfer fee to acquire the services of the Player.Wayne was given permission to speak to Cambridge and what with the deal he has been offered coupled with the amount time of left on his contract at Rushden, I wasn't in a position to compete with that and therefore the Club have allowed him to move on".
We would like to thank Wayne for all his services for Rushden & Diamonds over the last two years and wish him all the best of luck at Cambridge United.
