Falls hoping to help Curzon rise up the table

Curzon Ashton have bolstered their attacking options with the arrival of Conor Falls, who joins on loan from League One side Huddersfield Town. 

Capable of playing through the middle and out wide, the 21-year-old will provide Craig Mahon’s side with some much-needed depth in forward areas, following an injury to skipper Jimmy Spencer. 

The Northern Irishman made his debut for The Terriers earlier this season, coming on as a substitute in a 4-0 win over Cambridge United in December. 

Falls also has international experience, having featured for Northern Ireland’s Under 21 side in November 2023. 

Keen eyed Stalybridge Celtic fans will recall the forward’s short spell at Bower Fold back in 2022 where he made five appearances, scoring one goal. 

Falls made his Nash debut last Saturday in a 1-1 draw away to Peterborough Sports. 

“I’m buzzing,” Falls told the club’s YouTube channel following his signing. 

“I wanted to get a bit more experience of senior football and test out my physicality, and when I heard Curzon were interested, I just jumped on it really. 

“They’re a really ambitious group with a really ambitious manager.  

“The club are aiming for promotion, and I want to do everything I can to help them achieve that.”
