Bashley goalkeeping legend David Elm has come out of retirement to play for Wimborne Town.

Experienced stopper Elm was tonight named in the Magpies starting line-up for their Southern League clash at Paulton Rovers.

Wimborne boss Steve Cuss moved to sign Elm as emergency back-up after his two keepers Jason Harvell and Dan Ackerman both sustained injuries.

Swanage-based Elm hung up his boots due to a back injury in December 2011.

Prior to that, he had enjoyed a distinguished career with Bashley, making 393 appearances and keeping 110 clean sheets for the club.
