Experienced defender Will Spetch, joined the Magpies in September 2023 from neighbours Poole Town. A hugely experienced centre back, Spetch made over 450 appearances for the Dolphins, having first joined them in the Wessex League in 2007-08. Spetch quickly made a name for himself with his leadership and aerial prowess, attracting the likes of AFC Bournemouth and Portsmouth. He made the move in to full-time football in March 2014, joining Sutton United. Injury however hampered his season with the U’s and he returned to Poole the following season, where he’d go on to play for Tommy Killick for another 11 seasons. Following Killicks departure from Poole, he made the move across Dorset along with Corby Moore and Jack Dickson, where his powerful displays and obvious leadership qualities soon endeared him to the Magpies faithful. His threat at set pieces saw him score eight times in his debut season. He scored four the following season, including a memorable 98th minute winner on the last day of the season at Hungerford, which secured a place in the play-offs.
