Lions Take Up Amir Berchil Option

We are delighted to announce that we have taken up an option in Amir Berchil’s contract to keep the winger at Nethermoor for the 2026/27 campaign.

Berchil joined the club in the close season last year from Emley and made 38 appearances in the 2025/26 campaign netting one goal.

Amir also clinched the 2025/26 Sponsors’ Player of the Season award at our End of Season Dinner earlier this month.

The winger, who is exciting to watch with plenty of pace, skills and trickery, made a solid start to life at Nethermoor forming a key part of our frontline.

The 26 year-old started his Yorkshire football journey at Nostell Miners Welfare he quickly made his mark and started to attract the attention of other clubs making his way through Yorkshire Amateurs, Albion Sports, Thackley and North Ferriby, where he spent two seasons.

Berchil was born in London and was on the books at Chelsea and Watford before his move up north with his family.

More player retentions ahead of the 2026/27 season will follow in the coming days.
