The highly-rated 26-year-old left-back joined Vanarama National League South side Oxford City in the summer of 2018 from Welling United.

 

He has plenty of experience at National League level, playing a part in the Forest Green Rovers side that earned promotion to the Football League in 2016/17.

 

He started out at Reading and had a `work experience` spell with Basingstoke whilst on the Royals books, before moving onto Port Vale and Sutton United, re-joining Welling for a second stint in July 2017.

 

Basingstoke manager Dan Brownlie told https://btfc.co.uk: “It all came a little out of nowhere in truth. Within one conversation and an hour sorting paperwork it was all completed.

 

“The timing couldn’t be better as we are carrying a few knocks at the moment and to be able to bring in someone of his calibre is great for the club. He’s a great guy who will fit in really well with this group and his playing quality speaks will hopefully speak for itself. It also gives us a chance to keep a fresh squad as we’ll be playing three games in under seven days by the middle of next week, so it’s added further depth which was needed”.
