Lichfield City have completed the signing of England futsal star Nick Colley.

Colley – whose footballing achievements were overshadowed by a scandal which saw him [admit that claims he had stomach cancer were a lie](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/staffordshire/3206278.stm?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk) – has joined Lichfield from Worcester City.

And the midfielder who once captained Tamworth in an FA Trophy final at Villa Park has revealed that playing near his home was a major factor in his decision.

Colley told [The Non-League Paper](http://www.thenonleaguefootballpaper.com/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk):

> “Lichfield is my home town and they have a great manager in Dean Gilbert. I liked what he said and how he sold the club – you can tell how good a club is when the manager is as excited as Dean was.”
