The 23-year-old forward returns to the club after establishing himself as one of the most prolific goalscorers in Midlands non-league football. Nicknamed "The Machine" by supporters, Funge arrives on the back of a remarkable spell with Dudley Town, where his goalscoring exploits earned widespread recognition.

A strong and athletic centre-forward, Funge combines intelligent movement, relentless work rate and clinical finishing, making him a constant threat to opposition defences.

After gaining experience with clubs including Halesowen Town, Lye Town, Sutton Coldfield Town, Boldmere St Michaels and Walsall Wood, Funge enjoyed a breakthrough period with Dudley Town, scoring 25 league goals in 32 appearances before finishing as the Midland Football League Premier Division Golden Boot winner with 30 goals in all competitions.

Now returning to familiar surroundings, Funge adds proven firepower to Carl Dickinson's attacking options ahead of the new season.

Speaking on the signing, Carl Dickinson said:

"Delighted to have Matt return to the club. He had a brief spell here but has gone to a different league and shown how good a goalscorer he is. His work rate and attitude to do well will be a big asset to us moving forward into next season."

Everyone at the club would like to welcome Matt back and wish him every success for the season ahead.
