The young defender (pictured) has been recalled from his spell with League Two outfit Salford City to join the Mariners on loan for the rest of the season.

The 20-year-old linked up with the Ammies in August but found game time limited, only making 4 appearances.

The Banbury-born centre-half has been on the Tigers’ books since under-9 level and featured twice for the first team, against Fleetwood Town last season and Wigan Athletic in August.

The Mariners have also added Scott Burgess to their squad.

Burgess' contract at Port Vale was terminated earlier on Friday and the midfielder has now penned a deal until the end of the season.

Burgess progressed through the academy system at Bury FC, penning his first professional contract with the club in the summer of 2015, twelve months after making his debut in a draw away to Morecambe at the age of 16.

After multiple loan spells at the likes of Macclesfield Town, Wrexham, York City and a short spell at Norwegian club Bergsoy, Burgess signed for Port Vale in May 2019.

During his time at the Valiants, Burgess made a total of 62 appearances in all competitions, scoring on four occasions and was also nominated for the club’s young player of the year for the 2019/20 campaign.
