New Mills AFC have confirmed the signing of versatile player Cheikh Thiam on a dual registration deal.

Mossley AFC is the 17-year-old’s parent club but he has only made five first-team appearances for the Lilywhites so far this season. 

Thiam, who can play at right-back or as a right-winger, made his debut for the Millers in Tuesday night’s 4-0 defeat at Wythenshawe Town. 

He also counts Shrewsbury Town among his former clubs and is regarded by many in the non-league circuit as a promising talent. 

It’s another good signing from joint-managers Dave Birch and Mike Norton. 

Thiam will already know some of the Millers squad well, especially Adam Jones, who arrived at Church Lane from Mossley last month.
