AFC Telford United have completed the signing of former Nottingham Forest and Rochdale defender Neill Byrne.

Published

The 19-year-old Republic of Ireland international joins the Bucks on a year's deal having turned down offers from several clubs.

Byrne made seven appearances during a loan spell with Southport last season and he did enough during that time to impress Liam Watson enough to pursue the player.

He will provide competition for places with Bucks centre-backs Dan Preston and Simon Grand.

Meanwhile, physio Rudy Farqharrson has left the club and Darryl Smith has left the position of first-team goalkeeper coach, although he will remain within the club's youth set up.
