YOUNGSTER Robert Davidson has returned to Cleator Moor Celtic under-9s following a successful trial with Preston North End.

returning home: Robert Davidson has had a successful trial period with Preston North End

Robert has spent the last month heading up and down the motorway to train with the League One side.

And on Sunday, he starred in their 4-1 win over Bradford City.

However, the travelling proved to be a problem for Robert and he has decided to remain with his Celtic team-mates.

A club spokesman said: “It has been a wonderful experience for Robert. On Sunday he played on the wing in the same shirt as one of his heroes Tom Finney.

“He likes to read about all the old players so to be on the same side as one of his favourites was a big thing for him.

“Unfortunately the travelling has proved to much and Robert has decided to stay with his friends at Cleator Moor Celtic.”

Robert returned to Celtic on Monday and put in a man-of-the-match display against Maryport Monsters, see match report on page 44.
