Haines signed his first professional deal in the summer and will be in Saturday`s match day squad when the Bluebirds travel to Melksham Town for the final preseason friendly.

Manager Mark Collier told the club`s website: “Luke will provide competition for places in midfield can also play as centre back, he is very competitive, outstanding in the air. Alan McLoughlin speaks very highly of him and his arrival comes at a good time with our current injury and unavailability situation”.
