AFC Telford United have handed a senior deal to Priorslee-born prolific under-18s centre-forward Callum Knowles

Striker Knowles, who is from Priorslee, will join up with Paul Carden's first-team ranks at his hometown club for the remainder of the National League North season.

He has been in red-hot form for Telford's under-18s this term. Knowles, who is 18, has netted 14 times in 16 starts for the Bucks junior ranks.

Knowles is set to train with the first team this evening and could be involved in Saturday's crunch league clash at Farsley Celtic.

Telford's under-18s are second in the Midland Junior Premier League having lost just once in 18 league games this season.

Knowles' registration has been completed ahead of today's 5pm non-league transfer deadline.

The Bucks are set to complete further additions, with announcements expected within the next couple of hours. There are also likely to be exits confirmed from the New Bucks Head.
