STUART Cattell has left Wantage Town and signed for local rivals Didcot Town.

The defender joins the Railwaymen from their Evo-Stik Southern League Division 1 South & West counterparts after stepping down as the Alfredians' player-manager last week.

Cattell, who played in Wantage's defeat to Taunton Town on Saturday, could make his debut against his former side on Boxing Day.

Didcot's assistant manager Ian Lovegrove said: "We're very happy to have brought Stuart to the club.

"Having previously worked with him at Wantage Town, we both know exactly how each other work and he will fit straight into the dressing room and the way we operate.

"He is a solid centre back who brings with him a wealth of experience and will be a valuable addition to the side."
