Striker Dave Burborough, who suffered a severe knee injury three years ago when playing for Paulton Rovers, has rejoined the Winterfield Road club and is included in the squad for today's home tie against Bracknell Town.

Burborough was out of action for nearly 18 months before joining Mangotsfield United last season for a handfull of games before being injured again. This season he's been playing for Toolstation Premier Division Bishop Sutton.

Manager Andy Jones said: "It's great to have Dave back at the club and he said to me 'I have some unfinished business at Paulton'."

Jones is also hoping that experienced goalkeeper Steve Perrin, who made his debut in Monday's game against Cirencester Town, will not be required by Bath City today.
