FORMER Berwick captain Matthew Wethers is returning to the club for the 2016 Premier League campaign.Wethers spent two seasons with the Bandits before making the switch to Workington this year after visa issues over the winter.Berwick promoter John Anderson said: “Matty returned to Shielfield in August to rack up 16 points, adding another handy haul of eleven on the left-hand-coast the following day. He comes back as a Bandit on a tasty average of 4.96, and we feel he is an excellent, ultra-reliable signing.

“His work permit problems are behind him, he and his family can stay in Britain for as long as they want and he really expressed a desire to return to us. The deal was fairly easy to broker.”
