Young midfielder joins from Swedish side Ytterhogdals IK

Widnes Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Robert Bourne from Swedish side Ytterhogdals IK.

The 21-year-old midfielder began his career at Bury, making his first team debut for the Shakers in a League One clash against Southend United in 2016.

Since his release in early 2017, Bourne has gone to have spells at Trafford, Stalybridge Celtic and Skelmersdale United, joining the latter after a period on trial at FC United of Manchester.

Bourne moved to Swedish fourth tier side Ytterhogdals in January, scoring once in 16 appearances before parting company with the club in September.

The youngster has received international clearance and could make his debut in Tuesday's home game against Ramsbottom United.
