The 19-year-old centre-back will join the Saints` B team after impressing during a recent trial period.

Lawrence has started 6 league games for Glebe this year and scored in their recent win over Sheppey United.

He is the latest prospect to move to a League club having passed through the ranks at Foxbury following on from the likes of Emile Smith-Rowe, Mitchell Pinnock, Lyle Taylor and Zak Lovelace among others.

Glebe manager Harry Hudson told his club`s website: “Really happy that Glebe was able to give Nico the platform to play senior football and come up against a different type of challenge. He’s developed & adapted really, really quickly. I’m proud of him!

“Now he’s making the step into a cat 1 academy & if he carries on the development, he’s had then I have no reason not to think he won’t go all the way. It’s fantastic that Glebe can have a strong season on the pitch while also providing a platform for players into a pro club!”
