“I’m delighted to have signed for the club," Brewitt said.
"There was interest from other clubs but after speaking with the gaffer and seeing the facilities on offer I was sold.’
“It was great to make my professional debut on Saturday and even better to seal it with a 3-1 win. Here’s hoping for many more and helping the club achieve promotion”.
When asked what he can bring to the club, Brewitt answered: “I am 100 per cent committed and more than comfortable in possession.
