Main chairman Daniel Linstrum said: “When Ben first discussed the possibility of bringing Ross to Rossington Main I was absolutely delighted at the opportunity to maybe sign a player of his calibre.

"After meeting Ross and his family a few times times I knew this would be a perfect fit and a signing that would really push us on to achieving our goals.”

Rossington reached the NCEL Division One play-offs last season after finishing the regular season in fifth – their highest ever league finish.
