The 19-year-old joins having most recently spent time with Carlisle United after he joined the League Two side after spells with Greek outfits Panegialios and previous to that, Thyella Egiou.

 

The centre-back, who is also can also play on the left side of defence, makes his stay at Gateshead permanent after impressing whilst on trial with the club over recent weeks, appearing against both Consett and Harrogate Town.

 

He told www.gateshead-fc.com: “I’m really happy.

 

“The manager and all of the staff have given me a good opportunity to play in the National League North for a great team with a great stadium.

 

“We’re a team who are aiming for promotion, it’s going to be hard but I think we’re a tough, strong team.”

 

Meanwhile, former Hartlepool United favourite Michael Nelson is joining Gateshead as a player-coach.

 

The 39-year-old defender has been at the Heed since the start of pre-season and has played in several friendly matches as a ‘trialist’.

 

After beginning at Bishop Auckland and then Bury, Nelson made over 300 appearances for Hartlepool between 2003 and 2009.

 

Since leaving Pools in 2009, Nelson has featured for several clubs including Norwich City, Scunthorpe United, Scottish sides Kilmarnock and Hibernian, Bradford City, Cambridge United, Barnet and most recently National League outfit Chesterfield, where he spent last season as a player-coach, making 13 appearances.
