Defender Josh Martin is the latest member of Paul Holleran's squad that finished the aborted 2019/20 campaign to put pen to paper and commit to the club by signing a contract for the new season. 

Having started his career at Birmingham City, where he progressed through the ranks to the fringes of the first team, Josh then spent time with Redditch United and Hungerford Town before linking up with Leamington in December last year. 

He made his debut as a substitute in the 2-1 win at Hereford towards the end of that month, and though he initially found it difficult to get game time he was rewarded for his patience and impressed, starting in what turned out to be our final four games of the season. 

'We're delighted to tie Josh down,' said the manager. 'He bedded himself in well at the back end of last season. He had to wait for his chance but was patient. He's a good professional, he's versatile, adaptable and resilient and I personally feel he could have a good future in the game, so we're really looking forward to working with him this year. Hopefully he will have a happy and successful time at the football club.'
