Former City young keeper Cameron Belford has signed for Nuneaton Borough.

The former Swindon and Forest Green keeper has been at Chorley but left to move back to his home town club.

"I’m delighted to be joining the Boro'" said Belford to Nuneaton's club website,  "It’s a very proud moment for me signing for my hometown club after growing up watching them as a fan behind the goal in the Cock and Bear end at Manor Park all those years ago.‬

"‪After speaking to the management team and seeing the way they are trying to do things here I felt it was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down and I’m sure the good times will be returning to a football club close to my heart.

"‪I can assure everyone that I will be giving my everything every single day to make my time here a successful one for both myself and the club.‬ ‪I know there have been some dark days recently and there have been plenty more downs than ups but let’s reignite the Boro' spirit and get the town bouncing again and have that feel good factor down at liberty way. Up the Boro!"
