The 23-year-old made 8 appearances for the Cantilever Park outfit after joining in November 2019.

He started his career with Everton where he progressed through from the under-18s to the under-21s.

Whilst with the Toffees, Duffus (pictured) had loan spells with Skelmersdale United, Hereford FC and also with Cardiff City`s under-23s.

He was released from Goodison Park at the end of the 2018/19 season and spent pre-season with SkyBet League Two side Carlisle United, but failed to earn a contract.

Earlier, Witton announced the arrival of attacking midfielder James Hooper on dual registration with Vanarama National League North neighbours Altrincham.

The 23-year-old has been out of action for three months with injury having joined the Robins a year ago from Salford City.

He enjoyed a productive spell in the Northern Premier League with Radcliffe FC for the majority of the 2017/18 season after beginning it with FC United of Manchester. 

He was originally with Rochdale, Stockport County and Carlisle United.
