Basford United sign experienced frontman

The vastly experienced striker boasts an enviable record at professional level, scoring 135 times for the likes of Nottingham Forest, Wycombe Wanderers, Derby County, Millwall, Blackpool and Reading, for whom he made a senior debut back in 1999.

Amassing well over 600 appearances during an illustrious career, he has also played for Swansea City, Fleetwood Town, Doncaster Rovers and Kilmarnock in Scotland.

More recently, Tyson has featured for Notts County, Chesterfield, Alfreton Town, Ilkeston Town and Grantham Town, before moving to Long Eaton in September.

After a short stint with the Southern League side, he will now link up with a Lions side currently 19th in the Northern Premier League.

He came on as a second half substitute during Saturday's 2-2 draw at Morpeth Town, but that result wasn't enough to stop them dropping into the relegation zone.
