Salisbury FC have announced that experienced defensive midfielder Luke Russe has signed for the Whites from Bath City.

The 26-year-old started his career with Bristol Rovers as an Under-18, before his promotion to the Under-23s in the 18/19 season, where he worked with Salisbury manager Brian Dutton.

Luke spent two seasons on loan with Gloucester City, before another loan move to Wiltshire rivals Chippenham Town.

After spending three seasons at the Bluebirds, the defensive midfielder made the move to Bath City for the 23/24 season.

Over the span of five years playing in the National League South, Luke has amassed 231 appearances and over 16,000 minutes respectively.

Luke becomes the fifth signing of the summer at the Ray Mac, adding a wealth of league experience at the base of midfield.
