Leamington FC are delighted to announce the signing of Joel Shambrook, on loan from Solihull Moors.

The Cubbington-raised right sided defender will link up with Paul Holleran’s side for an initial month, looking to take the next step up following previous loan deals at Studley, Darlaston Town and Stourbridge.

Paul Holleran said “I’m happy to get Joel on board. He’s a player that we’ve seen in his loan spells at Darlaston and Stourbridge, and he’s equipped himself very well at those clubs.

“We’ve got one or two injuries in the squad at the moment, and it’s a bit stretched, so we’ve moved to bring in a very capable young man who will add something different to the squad. We’re looking forward to having him with us!”

Joel spoke for the first time on joining the Brakes, saying “I’m very excited to be joining Leamington on loan, as a local lad I have grown up in the area and to be able to represent the team at such a high level as step 2 is a great opportunity for myself as well.

“I spoke to Paul a couple times last season, during my loan at Stourbridge, so I know about his ambitions and work ethic for the club and team which is great. I’ve only heard good things from fellow teammates so I jumped at the opportunity to play under him with the great bunch of lads he already has and I’m excited to get started.”

Joel will wear the number 22 during his time in gold and black.

Joe Doyle-Charles has joined Northern Premier League Division One West side Hednesford Town for an undisclosed fee.

The central midfielder joined the Brakes from Coalville Town in the summer, and has made fifteen appearances in gold and black.

Paul Holleran said "In the short spell that Joe’s been with us, he’s been great to work with - a real character and we wish him luck in signing for a super football club like Hednesford. He will be a great asset for them and Joe and his family will always be welcome back at Leamington."

Tuesday's scheduled game against Chester was postponed due to the frozen pitch being under a layer of snow.
