Alfreton Town signed defender Sam Topliss on a one year deal from North Ferriby United in June 2017.
Topliss spent most of his career to date progressing through the Hull City Academy system, where he spent eight years, securing a loan move to North Ferriby United in January 2015. This became permanent in August of the same year.
Sam formed an integral part of North Ferriby's sensational FA Trophy win in 2015 followed by promotion from National League North beating AFC Fylde in the play-off final.
Relegation followed for the Villagers last season 2016/17, Topliss making 39 appearances.
