The 25-year-old joins as injuries continue to stretch Gary McCann’s resources.

A youngster with Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton in his early days, after spending four years at the Saints he moved to Sheffield Wednesday, joining Carlisle United on loan for the second half of the season.

He made his Football League debut in January 2015 and went on to play 20 games for them.

The defender had a short spell at Dover Athletic at the start of the 2015/16 season before joining Kidderminster Harriers in October that year.

He went on to make 10 appearances for the Harriers and started the 2016/17 season playing for Billericay Town, moving to Chelmsford City in September for the remainder of the season.

He joined Woking in August 2017 and played 34 times for the Cards before re-joining Chelmsford in the summer of 2018.

He goes straight into the squad for tomorrow’s game against Concord Rangers and may well get a start after the news this week that Tom Jelley will be out for a protracted spell with a hip injury. He is likely to need an operation.
