The 23 year-old wide-man joins up with Gavin Cowan's team on a permanent deal from Rushall Olympic, having impressed against the Saints in our league encounter a few weeks ago.

Arlott-John is a product of Leicester City's Academy and joined the Pics in the Summer having spent last season with National League North Champions Tamworth. Prior to signing for Tamworth he had spells at Mickleover, Shepshed Dynamo, Ilkeston Town and Harborough Town.

He will wear shirt number 25 in his time at St James Park.

Gavin Cowan had this to say about his latest signing “Dempsey brings us something slightly different, with an abundance of quality and an ability to unlock doors. With mounting injuries, we look forward to welcoming him into the group.”

Welcome to St James Park Dempsey!
