Nuneaton Town have signed former France Under-19 striker Richard Barroilhet.



Subject to international clearance, the 21-year-old, who has been on the books of Nice, Fulham and Dutch top flight RKC Waalwijk, will be in the squad for Tuesday's game against Forest Green.

"Richard has been unfortunate with injuries, but his pedigree is impressive," said boss Kevin Wilkin.

"We have the chance to get him fit and, whilst it won't happen overnight, he could prove an exciting player for us."

Wilkin continued: "This is the end result of an intention the club has had for a while, to widen our recruitment net and see whether - for the limited budget we have - we could attract something a little bit different."

Boro have lost teenage defender Michael Richens, 18, who has been recalled by Peterborough United after making four second-half substitute appearances since arriving from London Road in mid-September.

Early season pacesetters Boro have slipped to 10th in the Conference Premier after a run of eight league games without a win.
