Former Coventry City youngster Robert Ogleby has joined Leamington FC.

Ogleby who came through City's academy but was not offered a professional deal and joined Hearts in 2010.

A loan spell at East Fife was followed by spells at Wrexham, and Livingston before leaving the cash strapped club and joining Nuneaton Town for the latter part of the season just gone.

Speaking about Ogleby who has twelve caps for Wales U21's, Brakes Boss Paul Holleran said to the Leamington FC website:  "Rob has a very similar kind of pedigree to a number of other players we have signed in that he is a local boy, he's young and he has followed his full time dream for a while which has taken him all round the country.

"In spells he has done really well but he has come back locally to live. I think he's had a similar issue to players like Danny Newton where he struggled to get a good run of games at his previous clubs before he came here.

"If a player can get a run of games it builds their profile and that's what Rob wants to do. He wants to knuckle down, work hard and get games under his belt.

"All the ingredients are there - he's a good size, he's quick and as I said, has done well in spells so it's all about him getting that consistency now but I am sure he will be a great asset to us.

"We are delighted to have secured his services and welcome him to the club."
