Southport have completed the signing of experienced 33-year-old midfielder Steve Schumacher.



Most recently at Stevenage, Steve played 28 times in League Two last season along with 2 EFL Trophy appearances. Steve started his career at Everton and captained the England U19 side. In his 15 year career, Steve has made 410 Football League appearances with Carlisle, Bradford City, Crewe Alexandra, Bury, Fleetwood Town and Stevenage.

Manager Alan Lewer said: “He’s a great signing for us. We were up early this morning trying to get that over the line. He had two league clubs contact him today but the good thing for us is he’s taken a coaching job at Everton with the youth team.”

“He’ll bring goals hopefully. Once we get our shape right and he’s part of that shape, I’m sure there’s goals to come from him”
