The central defender, 27, has recent European experience from his time with the Lakesiders, featuring in their recent Europa Conference League first qualifying round tie against Sligo Rovers.

He previously played for a number of other Welsh clubs, including Connah’s Quay Nomads, Aberystwyth Town, and Airbus UK.
