The ex-Crusaders man is described on the club website as ‘probably the fastest left back in the Conference League’ and made 36 appearances during Hungerford’s promotion season in 2015/16.

John’s signature is timely for manager Mark Tallentire who’s Robins side are a point behind leaders Flackwell Heath but with three games in hand while Thame United are level in third having played one game more.
