Bio
NIALL CLAYTON IMPRESSED MOORS IN PRE-SEASON AND SIGNED A ONE YEAR DEAL ON 16 SEPTEMBER 2020.
The shot stopper spent his formative years at Wolves and then Birmingham City before earning his big break at Oxford United, putting pen to paper on a two year scholarship with the U's.
Clayton has a bright future ahead of him, having already been involved with the Wales U21 set-up. His time with Oxford came to an end in July 2019 and the following season, he played non-league football to ensure he got minutes under his belt.
Drafted in as a trialist for Moors in the summer of 2020, Clayton soon showed his worth to the team, providing good competition to number one Ryan Boot. It was enough to prompt Jimmy Shan to make Clayton a permanent squad member.
Tall and athletic, the 21-year-old is commanding of his area and a reliable shot stopper - attributes he displayed throughout pre-season.
