Sheridan joins from league rivals and current leaders Bracknell Town.

He had joined the Robins in June 2019 from Isthmian Premier champions Dorking Wanderers, for whom he made 18 appearances in 2018/19.

He made the team of the season when Dorking won promotion from the Isthmian South and also won promotion with Kingstonian.

Basingstoke boss Dan Brownlie told https://btfc.co.uk: “Rob and I had discussions a couple of years ago about coming in but the travel demands of the Southern League wouldn’t allow for it. With our recent injuries and Scott being out for some time it was important we made a move and I’m really pleased we can bring someone in of his quality and statue. He’s a powerful guy who has real quality on the ball.

“It’s far from ideal having so many centre-halves out, but it’s something we have to deal with. There is going to be real competition in that area upon returning – but Rob hasn’t been brought in as cover – he wants a shirt so it’ll make for nice viewing with the level of fight for the defensive spots”.
