King's Lynn's latest signing Craig McAughtrie rejected the chance to stay in the Conference to lead the club's Unibond Premier promotion push.
New Linnets' chief Carl Heggs confirmed Tamworth's title-winning Blue Square North skipper will be handed the captaincy after agreeing a deal to move to The Walks over the weekend following fresh talks.
The 28-year-old earned non league promotions with the Lambs and previous club Stafford after starting his career as a trainee at Sheffield United.
“He's a leader, a beast,” said Heggs. “Craig has a good temperament, he's a solid citizen and he is a winner. He's a policeman by trade so he'll take no nonsense. There were three offers on the table but I said to him what did he have to achieve at Conference North level now? Nothing. So come with me and help build something at a big non league football club. We certainly couldn't offer him big money.”
