Welton S&SC have dismissed claims that James Drabble could be tempted away from Social Park by a massive bid from Premiership new-boys FVA Jerusalem.The 23-year-old Estate Agent was at the centre of speculation that he was a top target for Jerusalem, along with GE Millers Arms' superstar Tony Simmonds. But Welton chairman Paul Brewer told BBC Radio Lincolnshire: "James Drabble is just not for sale to anyone. It is as simple as that, really - he is not going anywhere."
Drabble has taken the Premier League by storm in recent seasons, finishing as the club's top scorer in 2 of the 4 seasons since his move to Welton S&SC from his boyhood club Scothern FC. FVA Jerusalem's manager Johnny Bell has been handed a huge transfer budget by his club owner, and Drabble was among a number of names listed as players he will attempt to sign once he arrives at Monson Park on 1 July.
But Brewer has made it clear even Jerusalem's millions will not prise Drabble away from Welton after impressing at Social Park.
