The
23-year-old centre-back has impressed whilst on trial throughout pre-season and
has agreed a one-year contract with the club.
A
very strong, agile, 6`5” defender who is also technically good on the ball, he
started out at Boston United before embarking on his travels.
He
moved to CS Grevenmacher in Luxembourg in July 2017 and then spent a year with
Isthmian North side Maldon & Tiptree before joining Swedish outfit IFK Mora
in January 2019.
The
Eagles have been waiting for international clearance to come through, following
his spell with the Swedish side. However, this has now come through and can
confirm he has signed his contract.
Speaking
to www.bedfordeagles.net, manager Jon Taylor said: "We're delighted that
Derek has agreed a one-year contract with the club. He is young and hungry to
achieve so much in the game, and know if he works hard, will progress well.
Nathan, myself and the team are looking forward to working with him throughout
the season". |
