FORMER Darlington striker Chris Senior is to play in the club’s Non-League Challenge friendly game in July.

Senior scored the dramatic late winner in the 2011 FA Trophy final at Wembley, a moment that means he retains a place in the heart of all Quakers supporters.

“I’m really looking forward to it,” said Senior, who is now first team masseur at Sheffield Wednesday. “My eyes lit up when I realised who else will be on the field.

“It will be great to see the Darlo fans again as well. It’s also a chance for my son to see me play football in the flesh!”

The game will be played on Sunday, July 29 at Blackwell Meadows and will see Darlington play against a team of former Premier League players.

It is part of the club’s reward for winning the Marathonbet #NonLeagueChallenge, which was a competition to find the best goal celebration in non-league football.
