Brandon Cover

Arjan Raikhy
Following his deadline day move to National League side Tamworth, Arjan Raikhy made his debut for the fifth tier side against Halifax Town.

Oli Ewing
Oli Ewing is one of the many players to come through the Leicester academy and while he isn’t ready for Premier League action yet, a loan move to National League North side Buxton.
Three days after making his debut in a 4-0 loss against Chorley it was a much better game against Rushall Olympic.
Not only did Ewing play the full 90 minutes, he also scored his first professional goal in a fantastic win away from home.
