LEWIS Haldane has joined Southern League Premier Division strugglers Frome Town following his departure from Yate Town.

The 29-year-old striker will be reunited with his pal Ricky Hulbert, who had a spell at Yate at the start of last season after signing on the same day as Haldane.

Frome manager Adrian Foster: “Lewis’ quality is evident and is a proven player at a level much higher than ours and we are really pleased he decided to join us.

“There were several clubs after him and offered more than we could but that wasn’t his reason for coming to Frome - as long as we can get everything sorted in time he will be involved on Saturday against Redditch.”
