The

moved to Silverlands from Stourbridge`s league rivals Bromsgrove Sporting, who
he had joined in February 2020.
He
began his career at Hednesford going on to have spells at Grantham Town,
Coalville Town, Shepshed Dynamo and Chasetown.
His
goalscoring record came into fruition at Forest Green Rovers where he scored 35
goals in 108 appearances between 2010 and 2014.
Further
spells at Wycombe Wanderers and Kidderminster Harriers followed as well as
Macclesfield Town and Gateshead.
He
was then loaned to Nuneaton Borough during the 2016/17 season before moving to
Tamworth in the summer of 2017 ahead of the 2017/18 campaign, where he scored
10 goals.
A
switch to Darlington came in November of the same season, and he went on to
finish the 2017/18 campaign with 21 league goals.
He
joined Alfreton Town for an undisclosed fee in October 2018 and then moved to
league rivals Hereford FC in May 2019.

The
22-year-old had only joined the Glassboys in August 2021 having been released
by Championship side West Bromwich Albion at the end of the 2020/21 season.
A
lifelong Baggies fan, he progressed through the academy system at The Hawthorns
into their under-23 side and he also featured for the club in the EFL Trophy
competition.
He
is a quick and direct winger who was loaned out to Vanarama National League
South side Braintree Town for a month in December 2018 before joining National
League North outfit Kidderminster Harriers on loan in January 2019 for the
remainder of the season.
He
re-joined National League side Solihull Moors on a season-long loan deal for
the 2020/21 campaign.
He
featured regularly for Albion's PL2 side, and initially joined the Moors on
loan in February 2020, but only featured in 4 games before the season was
suspended owing to Covid-19.
Meanwhile,
Miracle Okafor and Darragh Bustin have also left Stourbridge on dual registration
with Racing Club Warwick and Tividale respectively in the Midland League
Premier Division.
