Ryan Walton pledges future to Tackley Warriors Under 9's

Ryan Walton is poised to kill off the possibility of a sensational move to local rivals Tackley Pythons this summer by pledging his future to the Warriors for at least another year.

The 8-year-old, who has had an impressive first season in the Roland Harper Butchers League: First Division, with 22 goals in all competitions, is believed to be high on Tackley Python's manager Gary Tweet's wanted list. The Warriors though, are adamant Walton is going nowhere and the young striker has made it clear he is not angling for a move to the new champions because, "why would I? Darren Harper plays for Python's and his brother is a glue sniffer."

The player's Dad, Barry Walton, 34, said earlier in the year that Ryan would remain at Down Perry Lane for a minimum of another season and yesterday confirmed that was still his son's position. "Nothing has changed - except for the number of goals that he has scored," he said. "He is very happy at the Warriors, plus anyway, we don't want him playing with that Darren Harper, his brother is a glue sniffer and his father done bird for GBH."

Local journalists have questioned the Warriors ambition after midfielder Michael Frock was allowed to leave midway through last season after refusing to apologise to manager Harry Bootle for his red-card in a cup game when he called the referee a mincing peado. While his accusation was unacceptable, his influence in the team was unquestioned and his absence from the side was blamed for the Warrior's poor end to the season.

Manager Bootle, 29, told us, "Mikey leaving us was a blow, but no player is bigger than the club. We can't have players accusing the officials of being nonces no matter how many goals they score. I sat down with Michael and explained that if he apologised to myself and the team he would be able to play when his ban was served, but he just told me to f*ck off and said he'd rather play for Wooton Town anyway cause their kit looks like Barcelona's. I had to let him go, but it's ridiculous to say we have no ambition and Ryan staying with us will prove that.

"I think Ryan can score 30 goals next season because there are players doing that and I think he is as talented as any other player. And if we can bring some silverwear to the club next season I see no reason why he would want to go to Pythons."
