The 23-year-old from Derbyshire, who can play at right-back and centre-back, made 33 appearances for the Red Devils last season, having won the League Two championship with Northampton Town in 2015/16.

Lelan, who won one international cap for Kenya in 2016, began his career in the Derby County academy and made his senior debut in the Conference Premier during a 2013 loan spell at Gateshead.

He also made five appearances for Swindon Town in League One at the start of the 2014/15 season.

Lelan told Aldershot`s head of media Steve Gibbs: “I was really impressed after my chat with the gaffer.

“He said a lot of really positive things about where the club can go and where he thinks I can go – it was quite an in-depth conversation, and more in-depth than I’ve had with other managers. It’s a really positive step for me.

 “Promotion is the main aim for this club. We don’t talk about it much, but I don’t think we should be looking for anything else.”

Lelan is Aldershot Town's third signing of the day, after deals for former Dagenham & Redbridge midfielder Luke Howell and Ebbsfleet United defender.
