Blues have signed 20-year-old defender Luis Morrison-Derbyshire from Hampton & Richmond Borough

Luis is a former Arsenal and Stevenage Borough trainee before moving to Scandinavia where he played professionally in Sweden and Finland before joining Farnborough for the remainder of the 2013-14 season last January. He signed for Conference South side Maidenhead United at the start of the current campaign before joining Hampton & Richmond Borough in late October. Before dopping into non-league football Luis also spent time on trial at Leeds United and Wrexham.

Jody Brown has been keen to bring in players that will provide competition for an improving side and is pleased to bring in a physically imposing player with an impressive background.

"He's another ambitious youngster, with good pedigree. We need competition at centre-back, and he brings that. He's a strong boy, that will add physicality to our squad & he impressed me when we played Hampton. Glen Little knows him from Wrexham, and spoke very highly of his professionalism & desire to do well.

"I'm pleased to get him on board, it's a specific area we needed to strengthen and almost completes the squad."

Brown also hinted at further changes to the squad:

"Expect another 1 or 2 in, but probably another couple out as I look to get the correct balance. However, the core remains the same!"
