the season, he signed non-contract terms with Salisbury ahead of the 2011/12 season, to
prove his fitness. After some outstanding performances, he accepted a one-year deal but
shortly after doing so suffered a serious knee injury, ruling him out for the rest of the season.
He returned the following season, and was once again invited to prove his fitness, initially
signing on non-contract terms before being offered a full contract after a successful pre-
season. The 2012/13 and 2013/14 seasons saw him feature regularly in the first team,
starting the majority of matches, and he signed a new contract ahead of the 2013/14
