WESTON Football Club have signed midfielder Ben Cleverley from Zamaretto League side Tiverton Town.

The Seagulls have paid an undisclosed sum for the 27-year-old flair player, who has signed a contract until the end of the season.

Manager Andy Gurney said he would bring the side a creative spark that it has missed so far this season.

Gurney said: "He will get on the ball and pass it.

"That's his game, it's something we've been missing and we haven't really had a lot of that in the middle.

"He will be able to spot passes that others won't."

The Seagulls boss also revealed he will try to bring Newport's on-loan striker Dave Gilroy to the Woodspring Stadium on a permanent basis.

He said: "We will discuss it with Newport and see what we can do, but if they want to keep him it will be difficult.
