28 May 2023 : Ex-skipper Peter Wylie is back in the Yellow & Green
Former club captain Peter Wylie has come home to join Runcorn Linnets after a year away with City of Liverpool FC - and it's great to have him back!
A key figure in Runcorn Linnets' defence over four Northern Premier League seasons, Peter was skipper and longest-serving player in the squad, which reached the 2021-22 Pitching In Northern Premier League West Play-off Final.
That proved to be the farewell appearance of his first Linnets spell.
But he will pick up his career in the Yellow & Green after topping the 2022-23:appearances chart at CoLFC. He played for the Purps 44 times, scoring twice, and was Players' Player of the Year.
Peter's Linnets stats to date are 114 appearances (106 starts) with three goals.
He originally joined us from Marine for our second game of 2018-19 against Chasetown - our first NPL home fixture after promotion - and made himself a regular in the side through his accomplished displays.
Peter's experience and versatility were a bonus - Peter has played for us at full back, centre back and in midfield.
He also had two spells at Skelmersdale United but began his career at Blackburn Rovers, featuring in their FA Youth Cup side.
Peter joined Stalybridge Celtic in March 2015, making 55 appearances for their National League North team, before returning to Skem from where he joined Marine in 2017.
