SOLIHULL Moors have made three new signings ahead of the club’s first game of pre-season against local rivals Knowle.
Moors have signed goalkeeper Nathaniel Ford, midfielder Rio Shipston and defender Jevon Mills with the latter returning for a second spell with the club.
All three players could feature in the club’s pre-season opener against Knowle.
Solihull boss, Chris Millington said: “Having worked with Nat previously, I know what a talented young keeper he is.
“His impeccable attitude, commitment in training and potential to become a number one are just three of the reasons I wanted to bring him to Moors.
“Rio is another player with exceptional potential.
“He has the technical ability to help teams control possession and he isn’t afraid to take a risk in breaking lines.
“I am looking forward to working with him and seeing him develop in a Moors shirt.
“Jevon has been on our radar since his first spell at Moors.
“At 22 years of age we believe he has all the tools to develop into a fantastic centre back.
“He has a lot of good attributes and he will flourish in the environment here at Moors.”
Goalkeeper Ford arrives at Damson Park after departing National League rivals Halifax Town last season.
The 21-year-old came through Rotherham United’s academy and signed professional terms with the Millers in 2023.
Midfielder Shipston, also aged 21, joins Moors from Sheffield Wednesday where he made four appearances for the Owls in the Championship last season.
And defender Mills returns to Damson Park after spending the second half of the 2022/23 campaign with the club where he made nine appearances.
The 22-year-old came through Hull City’s academy and signed professional terms with the Tigers in October 2021.
Mills scored one goal in 24 appearances for Halifax in the National League last season.
