CLITHEROE boss Neil Reynolds insists the club's future is bright after young duo Ian Flannery and Gary Stopforth penned 18-month contracts.

The two 21-year-olds follow striker Joel Byrom and midfielder Ryan Fisher in signing on the dotted line for the Blues.

"It's massive for us. We've got four good young players that we can build around for the future," said Reynolds.

But the Blues have lost Kieran Fletcher, who is expected to join Chorley, ahead of tomorrow's home game with Skelmersdale.
