During the 2017/18 season, Brewitt left Liverpool to join Middlesbrough on a free transfer but was released at the end of last season.

“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.
