“He’s 22, local and he’s hungry for success.

“He wants to be in the full time game and has seen that progress this club has gone through over the last few years.”

Town have also completed the dual registration of young Buxton goalkeeper Myles Wright, who was released by Chesterfield last year.

The 'keeper will act as cover should Peter Crook sustain an injury or get suspended.

Meanwhile, young Town players Marcus Day and Tom Stewart have headed in the other direction.

Stewart has spent the majority of the season between the sticks at Harrogate Railway but returned to Town last month and featured in the 7-1 win over Silsden last Thursday.

Young striker Day has also spent time at Railway but has most recently been involved for Wetherby Athletic in the West Yorkshire League.
