Blues have snapped up the services of one of non-league football's most highly rated young talents by signing midfielder Robin Shroot.

The 20-year-old, who can play in midfield or on the wing, has put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half year deal (with one year option) at St. Andrew's.

Northern Ireland Under-21 international Shroot (pictured) impressed whilst on trial at Wast Hills over the last couple of weeks.

He was out of contract following spells at Ryman League Premier Division side Harrow Borough and, prior to that, AFC Wimbledon and Staines Town.

Shroot has been given squad number 32. He is eligible to play in tomorrow's game at home to Wolves and is likely to be amongst the seven substitutes that are allowed in the FA Cup.
