Rugby Town have bolstered their attack with the signing of highly-rated striker Ruben Wiggins-Thomas.

The ex-Basford United and Belper Town forward has signed a one-year contract with Rugby to keep him at Butlin Road until May 2018.

Stringer reflected: "I've followed Ruben closely over the last two seasons and I've always been impressed with him for Basford and Belper.

"He is quick, clever and he has shown he is a proven goalscorer at this level and above.

"I was keen to sign him last season for Chasetown so I'm really pleased to have got him on board for this campaign".

The 29-year-old striker scored 18 goals last season for mid-table Belper last season after scoring 20 league goals for Basford United the previous season as they reached the Play Off Final.

Ruben also helped Basford out of the Midland Football League during the 2014/15 campaign scoring 48 goals as they claimed the Premier Division title gaining promotion to the NPL.

Prior to that, Wiggins-Thomas spent three seasons with Carlton Town in the NPL First Division South and has also had spells with Hucknall, Halesowen, Eastwood, Matlock, Buxton and Witton after starting his career with Chesterfield.

Ruben joins fellow striker David Kolodynski and returning goalkeeper Niall Cooper in agreeing contracts at Butlin Road in the past two weeks.
