Darryl Powell
Moving to the Victoria Ground on `work experience` from League One side Lincoln City is defender Darryl Powell.
The 18-year-old started out at Nottingham Forest, before joining Lincoln in the summer of 2021.
The 6’4” centre defender is aggressive, tall and powerful and that he enjoys the physical side of the game.
He has recently been playing regular first team football with Northern Premier League Division One Midlands strugglers Yaxley and with recent injuries and suspensions will offer the Rouslers options in defence.
Darryl is a second generation footballer with his father, and namesake, having played for Portsmouth, Derby County and Birmingham City, whilst also representing Jamaica at international level.
Midfielder Demi Akinwe has joined Sporting from league rivals Hednesford Town, where he had been since November 2022.
More recently, Akinwe has been on loan at NPL Division One Midlands outfit Gresley Rovers, playing 4 times in January.
The 19-year-old left League One Shrewsbury Town during last summer and is a product of the West Bromwich Albion youth academy.
His preferred position is centre midfield but can also operate as an attacking full back.
