NATHAN Rudge has beefed up his attacking options at Chippenham Town by signing striker Tom Knighton from Yate Town.

The 24-year-old, who has also featured for Mangotsfield United, was Yate's top scorer this season with 12 goals.

Knighton also scored in both legs of the Evo-Stik League Southern Division One South and West side's historic FA Cup fourth qualifying round victory over Conference giants Newport County last month.

The Chippenham new-boy has also had spells with Cadbury Heath, Bitton, Tiverton Town and Frome Town, and should be in the squad when Rudge's Bluebirds travel to Redditch United this weekend.
