The 24-year-old has signed a one-year contract at The Shay and is the first player to join the club since the appointment of Pete Wild as manager.

He joins goalkeeper Will Appleyard, midfielder Jack Earing and forwards Jamie Allen and Tobi Sh-Silva as close season additions to the Halifax squad, and is expected to go straight into the squad for Saturday's season opener at Ebbsfleet.

His form there earned him a move back into the Football League with Accrington Stanley for an undisclosed fee in 2017.
