The 19-year-old won player of the season for Melksham`s under-18 side for 2020/21 before deciding to head to Toolstation Western League Division One neighbours Devizes Town to play first-team football.

However, within a couple of months, he left Devizes to sign for Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division side Corsham Town at a level higher.

He made 23 appearances for Corsham this season before stepping up another level with his return to the Oakfield Stadium.

Earlier, Melksham brought in attacking midfielder Dam McBeam from Southern League Premier Division South side Taunton Town.

The 21-year-old had joined the Peacocks in August 2020 following a successful trial.

He has previously been with Reading at under-18 level before signing a contract at Barnsley in November 2018.

He then left the Yorkshire club in the summer of 2019 and ended up playing for Melksham`s league rivals Mangotsfield United.
