Wealdstone manager Gordon Bartlett has admitted he would like to bring Connor Calcutt back to the club in the new year after he has recovered from his broken leg.

The on-loan Stevenage striker suffered the injury during Monday’s win at Chelmsford City and faces between two to three months on the sidelines.

But Bartlett has been very impressed with his contribution and would like to bring him back to Grosvenor Vale once he returns to fitness.

Bartlett said: “It was totally innocuous. The hospital said it’s probably about eight weeks so you’re looking at ten to 12 weeks until he gets fit.

“It was only a short-term loan but we were looking to extend it. He did very well and we were very keen to extend it so we will revisit that when he is fit.

“He is a great lad and I feel very sorry for him. Now he has to be strong and get over it. The good news is it was a clean break.”

The manager added: “He fitted in so well and everybody likes him. He was just beginning to find his feet and do well here so it’s a shame.”

Wealdstone picked up a valuable 2-0 win at Chelmsford this week which moved them four points clear of the bottom of the Conference South relegation zone.

Bartlett’s side got off to a superb start after a stunning strike from Elliott Godfrey in the third minute.

The Stones sealed the points in the second half when Shaun Lucien netted from close range.

Bartlett said: “I’m very pleased after the last few weeks when we have deserved more than we got.

“We are focused on climbing up the table and seeing how many sides we can go above.

“In the last four games we have not got what we deserved and it hurt. This is a massive result in terms of belief and for team morale.”

The Stones return home on Saturday to face a Concord Rangers side that they have lost to this season in the league and the FA Cup.

Bartlett said: “We have played them three times this year and they have had the upper hand so far. But there is no reason why we cannot get our first home league win under our belt.”
