Southern League Division One Central club Coleshill Town have signed winger Lewis Rankin ahead of the 2020/21 season.

The 25-year-old joined Southern League Premier Central side Nuneaton Borough in August 2019 after impressing during a pre-season trial.

He was a member of the Coventry City academy from the age of 7 and signed a professional contract at the Sky Blues, featuring on their bench on four occasions.

He also earned a call up to the Scotland under-19 side.

After a short spell out of the game after being released by Coventry, he began training with Rugby Town, enjoyed the game again and signed for the Valley.

In the summer of 2015, he joined Chasetown but his stay with the Scholars was a brief one as he moved closer home to join Midland League side Coventry Sphinx.

In August 2016 he stepped up several levels to sign for National League North outfit Brackley Town. But in the summer of 2017, he returned to his home city, this time to Midland Leaguers Coventry United.

The following close season, he re-joined Rugby after scoring 13 goals for Coventry United.

In 2018/19 he played 35 times for the United Counties League outfit and scored 16 goals.
