The duo arrived at Meadow Lane today to finalise their moves before training with their new team-mates for the first time.

 

Former Rotherham United and Colchester United full back Brindley signs for the Magpies as a free agent after making 34 appearances for league rivals Bromley last season.

 

The 26-year-old has plenty of experience at a higher level, with the bulk of his 175 professional appearances coming in the EFL and was part of the Millers side promoted to the Championship through the play-offs in 2014.

 

Brindley came through Norwich City’s academy but was released in 2012 and began to rebuild his career with Chelmsford City in the National League South. 

 

From there he joined Chesterfield, then in League Two, before stepping up a division with a move to Rotherham.

 

He spent time on loan at Scunthorpe United, Oxford United and Colchester ahead of a permanent switch to the U’s in June 2015.

 

From there, Brindley spent a season with Barnet before heading to Bromley last September and becoming a permanent fixture in their defence during 2018/19.

 

Meanwhile, wide midfielder Shields (pictured) has signed on a season-long loan from another league rival, Ebbsfleet United, who he reached the play-offs with in 2018.

 

The 27-year-old had been at Stonebridge Road since 2015, following two years playing in League Two with Dagenham & Redbridge, where he made his senior debut.

 

He spent time in Tottenham Hotspur’s academy as a youngster and has plenty of National League experience, featuring 72 times in the division across loan spells with Maidstone United and Boreham Wood as well as his stint at Ebbsfleet.

 

He made 32 league appearances for the three clubs last season, scoring 4 goals, and has turned out 6 times for the Fleet so far this campaign, including as a sub when County visited Stonebridge Road last month.
