Yellows boss pays tribute to Evan Gumbs

Warrington Town manager Mark Beesley has praised Evan Gumbs after he made his 100th Yellows appearance on Saturday. 

The centre-back made his debut against Corby Town in 2017. 

He has also found the back of the net on three occasions during competitive action, one of which came against Morpeth Town in an FA Cup first qualifying round replay earlier this season.

Gumbs produced a stand-out display last weekend, helping the Yellows to a third clean sheet in the space of a week after a goalless draw with Matlock Town. 

On the 25-year-old, Beesley said: “Evan is outstanding, he’s probably been one of our top three players throughout the season.

“The poor lad has had a wretched run of injuries, but he’s fought back really well. 

“Since I took over, he’s played near-enough every game and we’ve got a really good player on our hands. 

“To play 100 games for any club is rewarding, and he deserved Man of the Match [against Matlock] for me.”
