We’re pleased to confirm the signing of Marcel Lavinier, who joins us on a deal until the end of the season.

The 24-year-old defender spent a significant part of his youth career at Chelsea before moving to Tottenham Hotspur. It was at Spurs that he made a Europa League appearance, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 4-0 win over Wolfsberger AC.

Following his departure from the Premier League side, Marcel joined Swindon Town in the summer of 2022. After making 25 appearances for the Wiltshire club, he moved on to Forest Green Rovers, where he featured 25 times before his recent exit.

You can see Marcel in action tomorrow as the Glovers travel to Halifax.
