A central defender who can also play at full-back, he started at Portsmouth, making one League appearance and had loan spells at Crystal Palace.
He has since played for Bognor RegisRegis, Havant & Waterlooville and Bashley before joining Salisbury.
He quickly settled at County, captaining the side in the successful second half of the season, and scoring two goals in twenty-five games.
