Paul Holleran has confirmed that goalkeeper Callum Hawkins has signed for the club, as he returns from injury.

The 23-year-old shot stopper was released by Burton Albion but continued his recovery with the Brewers throughout the summer. He has been training with Paul Holleran's side this month and now he is back fit, the Hawk has put pen to paper.

Over his two loan appearances at Your Co-op Community Stadium, Hawkins made 42 appearances, keeping 15 clean sheets. His second loan spell ended following an ACL injury against Blyth Spartans in February 2023.

Callum is available, and will be part of the squad for today's FA Cup game at Boston United, with live commentary on the below player from around 2:50.

It’s a trip to familiar opposition this Saturday as Leamington face off with National League North side Boston United in the Emirates FA Cup.
