“I’ll give it my all for the club while I’m wearing the shirt and I’m looking forward to meeting the boys and getting started.”

Trinity are four points adrift at the bottom of the table and have failed to score in five of their nine games.

But Milnes insisted: “There are some quality players here and hopefully I can develop some good combinations with them and make a positive impact out on the field.”
