Former Middlesbrough winger Nathan Porritt made his debut for Norton last night in their 1-0 victory at Esh Winning.

He came on as a second half sub for Jamie Owens as Norton stayed in eighth place in the table, and Esh slid closer to the second division.

Porritt started his career at Middlesbrough, and was one of the highly rated prospects -- he was compared favourably to Ryan Giggs -- but his career didn't take off, and afetr a loan spell at Darlington, he eas released last summer and has been playing in Belgium for Charleroi.

Steve Huggins scored Norton's goal in the first half.
