HOT-SHOT striker Steve Foster returns for Radcliffe Boro, aiming to shoot down play-off rivals Whitby Town.

The former Blackburn Rovers trainee, who has fired 22 goals this season, will come back into the side after serving out a one-match suspension in the midweek Manchester Cup game at home to Mosley.

Boro boss Kevin Glendon admitted it was a game his side could ill-afford to lose.

"By the end of the day, we don't want to be any further adrift so we could really do with a win, he told us.

"They haven't lost in 15 games so it's a tough ask, but the young lads who have come into the side have done really well for me."

Steve Spencer, Davy Luker and Andy Heald will be missing for the trip to the Turnbull Ground, but Foster returns after serving his ban.

"Steve has been superb this season for me," added Glendon.

"To be able to welcome him back will be a big plus.

"He has calmed down certain things in his game since he arrived, and he is still only a young lad."
