The 27-year-old, born in Manchester but of Italian descent, joins the Bucks after leaving Alty upon their relegation into National League North.

The 6ft 1in centre-back has racked up 133 appearances for the club and scored six goals, but has now departed to join one of their new league rivals.

He's been earmarked as a replacement for Curtis Tilt, who has joined National League Premier side Wrexham and gone into full-time football.

Havern has previously served Stockport County, Mossley, Ashton United and Hyde, plus took in loan spells at Radcliffe Borough and Ashton.

Outside of the game, he is also a part-time model and had a brief relationship with former N-Dubz singer and X-Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos.
