WORCESTER City has bolstered its backline with the signing for a former Wolves prospect.

Centre-half Nyeko Sinclair comes in on dual registration having spent this season at Redditch United and may have debuted tonight had the scheduled league fixture with Coventry Sphinx not been postponed.

The 19-year-old linked up with Tamworth’s under-21 set-up following his departure from Molineux before taking the opportunity to sign with IFK Östersund in Sweden’s second tier 12 months ago.

Having returned to the UK he ended up at Redditch where his first-team opportunities were limited under then-manager Paul Davis and successor Paul Smith.

Sinclair featured in Smith’s opening few games when he took the reins in mid-September before a dead leg suffered in the 2-1 League Cup defeat to Halesowen Town and a wave of new signings saw him fall down the pecking order.

The nature of Sinclair’s deal means he remains eligible for both clubs.

A club release said: “We would like to thank Paul Smith and Redditch United for allowing Nyeko to join us."

Sinclair's move also prompted an endorsement from his old boss at Tamworth.
