The 21-year-old right-back arrives at the Spencer Stadium, powered by egg, with a strong pedigree, having come through the ranks at Northampton Town where he also earned a professional contract with the Cobblers.

Flanagan has since gained valuable experience at Step 2 and 3, featuring for Brackley, Kettering, Barwell, and most recently Bedford, with a short spell at Barton, last season.

A dynamic full-back with great energy and defensive discipline, he adds further quality to our defensive unit as we prepare for the new season.

Kelvin Langmead said: “Josh is a talented young player with a solid foundation from the pro game and experience across some very competitive non-league sides. He’s eager to push on and we’re excited to have what he will bring to the team.”

Join us in giving Josh a warm Puritans welcome!
