Richie Bennett returns to the Iron as three depart

4 September 2023

Scunthorpe United welcome back striker Richie Bennett on a deal until the end of the season.

The 32-year-old has had no shortage of suitors in higher divisions, but opted to return to Glanford Park and train with the club a couple of weeks ago, and supplements Jimmy Dean’s attacking options in our quest for promotion back to the National League Premier Division.

Bennett joined the club in March last season and went on to make eight starts, scoring one goal in the 2-0 home win over Altrincham.

His registration with the club makes him eligible for contention in the squad subject to FA and National League ratification.

Meanwhile, Scunthorpe United can confirm Dean Rance, Ethan Young and Nat Wallace have left the Iron by mutual consent.

31-year-old midfielder Rance arrived at the Iron in March having made 32 appearances for the Daggers during the course of last season, scoring in their fixture against the United at Glanford Park back in February.

After joining the club, Rance made seven appearances, including five starts, but leaves the club to return down south.

Young, who is 19-years-old, made a total of eight appearances for United, including six starts.

Meanwhile, 18-year-old Wallace made two starts and one substitute appearance last season for the Iron before spending some time out on loan at Farsley Celtic. 

We thank all three for their efforts while with us and wish them well for the future.
