Former Manchester United and Bradford City player Ben Muirhead has signed for Retford United from NCEL side Armthorpe Welfare.

Muirhead, 30, a Midfielder started his career at Manchester United before being released to join Bradford City where he made over 100 appearances for the Bantams.
A loan spell and subsequent transfer saw him play 43 times for Rochdale before injury forced him to drop down the leagues with, among others, Alfreton Town, Harrogate Town and more recently, Armthorpe Welfare.

He did make one appearance for Retford United back in pre-season of 2009 against Staveley MW in a friendly game.

He will link up with the squad as they travel to Heanor Town tomorrow.
