Midfielder Isaac Graham makes Linnets switch

Runcorn Linnets manager Michael Ellison has made his second new outfield signing since rejoining the club.

Isaac Graham arrives from fellow Pitching In Northern Premier League West side Mossley after being in their side for October's 0-0 draw between the clubs at Seel Park.

Based in Manchester, he is a tall and competitive box-to-box midfielder, who is strong in the air and likes to get the ball down to play.

Isaac, 26, is experienced at this level, having played in the division for Trafford (where he played in the same team as Adam Rooney), Newcastle Town, 1874 Northwich and Witton Albion.

He spent the first 12 games of last season with 'Castle, having played 25 times for them in 2023-24, before being snapped up by Witton in October 2024.

Isaac appeared regularly for the Albion, 28 appearances bringing him two goals.

He was in the Witton side, which defeated Linnets 4-0 at APEC Taxis Stadium on New Year's Day 2025.

Isaac fell out of favour at Wincham and moved in the summer to Mossley after impressing in pre-season.

Displays for the Lilywhites in recent months had earned Isaac rave notices.

The player, who is an elite performance coach and personal trainer, was at Altrincham and Curzon Ashton in his youth. He has also represented Wythenshawe AFC.
