Will Ramsay has been one The Colls’ top performers during the 2011-12 season, providing a real attacking threat for the team during his debut campaign.

Preferring to operate in wide areas, Will has made a major impression on the club since joining in the closed season, starting with an outstanding performance in the first friendly, away at Marsden, and impressing everybody with his attitude and competitive spirit: apart from the occasional opponent, who tend to take a dislike to being repeatedly left for dead. 

Will joined the club from Premier League Selby Town, preferring Pontefract over their conquerors in last season’s televised FA Cup tie, having spent much of his career at the club, and having captained their U19s.

Choosing Ponte over his old club, Will recognised the ambition of the club, and believes that he has joined a club that is really going places – “heading in the right direction”. He has subsequently played the role of Recruiting Officer, encouraging former team-mates Gary Lumley and Gareth Roberts to follow him down the M62 to Pontefract.

He has been impressed by the squad, and already feels a part of the club, having joined at the start of the pre-season training schedule. With a number of Man of the Match performances to his name, Will is an early front-runner for Player of the Season, having impressed team-mates, fans and his manager with his work-rate, attitude and performance levels.
