Having surpassed 250 appearances in a Radcliffe shirt, Rick Smith is the longest-serving player in the squad having rejoined in July 2022 after a season with Warrington Rylands where he won the FA Vase. The defender has brought a lot of success to the Neuven Stadium of late, including promotion from the NPL West in 2019, Manchester Premier Cup glory in 2023, and was part of the Boro’s historic 2024 NPL Premier Division title-winning side.
