South Shields have signed defender Ashley Smith-Brown.
The 24-year-old full-back, who spent the best part of two decades with Manchester City, left Plymouth Argyle back in January.
Representing England up to Under-20 level, Smith-Brown has also featured for NAC Breda, Hearts, Oxford United and Oldham Athletic on loan in his career to date.
He joins Shields ahead of tonight’s game with Radcliffe.
