City of Liverpool FC are delighted to announce that Freddie Potter has agreed a deal for the 2022-23 campaign.
The 33-year-old forward featured last pre-season for City of Liverpool after leaving Warrington Rylands, having worked with Michael Ellison to great success at Runcorn Linnets.
Freddie then joined the club on the eve of last season and went on to have the perfect beginning to life in Purple, scoring twice on his debut start as the Purps won 3-1 at Newcastle Town.
Freddie followed this up with a Bank Holiday derby winner against Bootle two days later, before making it four goals in three games by firing the Purps to an excellent 1-0 victory over Clitheroe in the FA Cup.
Potter’s Purple Patch continued as he hit the opener in an excellent personal performance, as the ten-man Purps won 3-2 win at his former club, and eventual champions, Rylands.
Affectionately dubbed “Purple Jesus” by supporters, Potter quickly became a real fan favourite before an innocuous injury sustained early on against Farsley Celtic saw him miss much of the rest of the season.
Freddie made his return from injury as a substitute on the final day of the season, finishing with 7 goals in 14 appearances for Michael Ellison’s side.
Ello explained, “Freddie was a big miss for us last season.”
“The timing of his injury and the fact it was a freak injury which kept him out for the majority of the season really, really hurt us”.
“If we can keep Freddie fit for this year, get him on the pitch and manage him well, I think it’s clear what he’ll bring and that’s goals!”
“He’s had a lot of offers again from other clubs, so I’m glad he’s decided to give it one more year [at City of Liverpool].”
“I’m glad he’s still a Purp and I’m looking forward to having a good pre-season with him and him hitting the ground running.”
