Pitching In Southern Football League Premier Division Central club Banbury United signed Alex Henshall in time for him to make a goalscoring debut in Tuesday night`s 2-1 win over Hednesford Town.
The 26-year-old had joined Banbury`s league rivals Stratford Town in July after the versatile midfielder had started the 2019/20 campaign with another Premier Division Central outfit, Nuneaton Borough.
He then made a permanent switch to Southern Premier Division South side Swindon Supermarine in early January 2020 after a successful loan spell.
He began his career at home-town club Swindon Town and turned down approaches from Manchester United and Liverpool in order to sign for Manchester City.
After loan spells at Chesterfield, Bristol Rovers and Ipswich Town, the pacey winger joined the Tractor Boys on a permanent basis.
A move north of the border to Kilmarnock was followed by spells in non-League football with Margate, Braintree Town and then Nuneaton, two years ago, where he met up with then-manager Tommy Wright, who he followed to Darlington.
He made 26 appearances for the Quakers last season but returned to Nuneaton in June 2019 to be closer to his Wiltshire home and young family.
He also played extensively in England’s Youth set-up, winning almost 20 caps and playing in two major tournaments.
