Swanepoel Signs For Warriors

Aspire Warriors PFC are delighted to announce the signing of Ryan Swanepoel ahead of the 2026/27 Slater & Gordon Championship campaign.

Ryan has been around the Aspire hub for a while training with various teams. He is relatively new to the sport, and this year will be his first competing in the National League.

Ryan does have experience in competitive environments though - he takes part in the competitive beard growing scene!

We look forward to seeing his facial hair on a Nottingham court shortly, and to watch him develop across the season.

Jon Bolding said: “I am really pleased Ryan has agreed to join the Warriors. This season is going to be a massive learning curve for Ryan but one in which I know he will relish and take full advantage of.

"Ryan has only played regional league football and so will be a big step up to national league. His commitment to training has been great and he is keen to learn.

"The environment we have created will allow him to do this and have the knowledge and skill of his teammates to help him progress. Look forward to seeing his journey this season with the Warriors."

Ryan Swanepoel said: “I'm thrilled to be joining the Warriors this season ready to battle our way to the top of the Championship.

“I feel we have what it takes to make a big impact this season.”

Ryan will wear the number 26 for the Warriors.
