Tudors sign MK Dons youngster on loan until end of the season

The 20-year-old Academy graduate could make his debut in Hemel’s Vanamara National League South fixture at Truro City tonight, subject to clearance.

Hickford’s return from Dagenham & Redbridge has allowed him to move to The Tudors, with whom he will be looking to gain more first-team experience.

Joining Hickford will be new Ebbsfleet United signing Reiss Greenidge, who also heads to Hemel on loan.

The 6ft 5in central defender was most recently with Port Vale and Ipswich Town U21s on loan, but came through the Arsenal academy before joining West Bromwich Albion in 2013.

An adaptable player, the 19-year-old can also operate as a left-back, and in his time in the West Brom U18 side attracted the attentions of Chelsea and clubs in Germany.

Greenidge signs for Hemel on an initial one-month loan deal.
