Zandvliet to leave The Robins

Paul Van-Zandvliet is to leave North Shields FC following the approach made by Ashington AFC.

Zandvliet has spent five seasons at the Daren Persson Stadium since joining from TyneMet College.

The midfielder went on to made 93 appearances for the club, scoring nine goals, including that memorable goal against Whitley Bay FC.

The 22-year-old was a key figure around North Shields FC with the players, committee, supporters, management teams alike. Paul was an influential figure in the Robins promotion campaign to the Northern Premier League East for the first time in 60 years.

We are hugely grateful for his efforts over his time at North Shields and we know he will be a massive miss around the club. We would like to wish Paul and his family all the very best success in his future endeavours and we will be sure to be keeping a watchful eye on ‘Mr North Shields’.

Good luck Paul and thank you!
