Linnets snap up Nathan Sandison on loan from the Sandgrounders

Runcorn Linnets are pleased to welcome 19-year-old attacker Nathan Sandison on loan from Southport until the end of October.

Liverpool-born Nathan, who can play as a forward or in midfield, joined the Sandgrounders this summer on an initial one-year deal with the club having an option for a second season.

He has so far made six appearances for the National League North side, five of them off the bench.

Nathan arrived at Haig Avenue having left Bootle at the end of last season.

He had been with the Bucks only briefly after transferring from Nantwich Town.

Although only with Nantwich until March, Nathan boasted the most assists over the campaign, setting up 13 goals.

He scored three himself in 27 outings for the Dabbers, which included an appearance at APEC Taxis Stadium in their 1-0 NPL win.

He went on to play six matches for Bootle.

Nathan came through Wigan Athletic Academy, joining their youth set-up in 2019.

He stayed with the Latics until 2024 and became a regular for the Under 18s.
