McDonald boosts Kettering Town attacking options with the signing of striker Jeffers
Kettering Town have boosted their attacking options with the signing of former England Under-19 international Shaun Jeffers.
Jeffers joins the Poppies from National League North side Bedford Town.
The 34-year-old signed on at the New Eyrie last summer, but after struggling to nail down a first team place he enjoyed loan spells at both Farnborough and Peterborough Sports.
He has now landed at Latimer Park, and will add the Poppies to a very long list of clubs.
Jeffers started his career at Coventry City where he made eight first team appearances, and played out loan spells at Cheltenham Town, Cambridge United and Tamworth.
He signed for Peterborough United in October 2013, and scored three times in 13 appearances for the Posh, before he moved on to Newport County.
Short spells followed at Yeovil Town, Woking, Chelmsford (where he hit 21 goals in a strong season), Boreham Wood, Hampton & Richmond, Brackley Town and Chelmsford, before he made the move to St Albans in October 2020.
That was where Jeffers finally settled, and in the next five years he would score more than 100 goals for the Saints in close to 200 games.
He joined his hometown club Bedford last summer following their promotion to Step 3, but failed to find the target in 12 games and was subsequently loaned out.
In the 2010-11 season, Jeffers played twice for England Under-19s while on the books at Coventry.
A Kettering statement read: "We would like to welcome experienced striker Shaun Jeffers to Latimer Park as Liam McDonald strengthens his attacking options.
"He is a former England U19 international who has scored 150 goals throughout his career.
"Shaun will give the manager different options up front; he is another exciting signing who could be another fans' favourite."
As McDonald continues to rebuild his squad, the Jeffers news comes on the same day that midfielder Jack Newell joined Poppies from Bromsgrove Sporting.
