NEW SIGNING โ๏ธ | BILLY SHARP
After 21 years away, AFC Rushden & Diamonds are excited to announce that @billysharp10 becomes a Diamond once again. Billy scored the first of 299 goals for Rushden & Diamonds back in 2005.
The man who put the ball in the cobblers net, has 299 career goals spanning over 22 years. Featuring for RDFC, Sheffield United Doncaster Rovers, Southampton, & Scunthorpe to name a few!
Billy comes in to help the Club with James Clifton being suspended and we canโt wait to see him pull on the shirt one final time as we go to Burton Albion in the FA Cup 1st Round Proper for the first time ever in AFC Rushden & Diamonds history.
Limited tickets for the FA Cup match at Burton are still available:

All at AFC Rushden & Diamonds are devastated to share the unexpected passing of our friend, Board Member and Club Welfare Officer Mike McGrath.
A long time supporter of the Club, Mike became the Club Welfare Officer in 2024, before his election to the Board later that year.
His humour, his personality and his dedication to his role will be sorely missed by us all.
The thoughts of all at AFC Rushden & Diamonds are with Mike's family at this incredibly sad time.

Ahead of our match tomorrow against @lichfieldcityfc , we would like to give a HUGE thank you to Pendragon Protect for not only sponsoring the match, but for helping to organise what will hopefully be a wonderful day raising donations for a fantastic cause.

We need your donations more than ever to support local charities so please, if you can, bring along a teddy and take part in our second annual Teddy Toss!

Introducing the Junior Passport! ๐
We love nothing more than seeing young people watching our matches and enjoying themselves. New for 2025/26 we have introduced a โJunior Passportโ which aims to encourage attendance amongst children.
Collect stickers for each match that your child attends and win prizes when you watch 5 / 10 / 15 / ALL home matches. Everything from family tickets and club shop vouchers to pictures with players are available. If your child attends all 21 matches this season, there's a FREE SHIRT waiting for them in April.
*Passports, and stickers, are obviously completely free and available to collect from the Club Shop on home league matchdays.*
Hundreds of Children in the Club's Community Youth section have received their passports this week, but any child can collect them from the Club Shop tomorrow and ongoing.

This has to be annual thing, it makes me proud to be an @AFCRD fan and to be able to help local ill and disadvantaged children at Christmas is a great thing.
What a success the Teddy Toss was, as mentioned at its first announcement. We hope to make this event an annual occurrence!
