Former Blues left-back Myles Kenlock has joined Vanarama National League Aldershot Town having left Barrow in January.

The 26-year-old was released by Town last summer, having spent the second half of 2021/22 on loan at Colchester United, and moved to Holker Park in August but made only nine starts and four sub appearances for the League Two club.

Shots manager Ross McNeilly is pleased to have signed Kenlock on a deal to the end of the season.

“Myles comes with lots of experience in league football,” he told his club’s official website. “He’s a good character and adds depth and quality to to our backline.”

Meanwhile, former Blues academy midfielder and coach Liam Manning is close to being named the new boss of Oxford United following Karl Robinson’s recent sacking. Manning, 37, left his previous role as head coach of the MK Dons in December.

Elsewhere, former Town midfielder and coach Kieron Dyer has been banned from driving for six months having been stopped by police while using his mobile phone while driving in Norwich Road in April 2022.

Dyer admitted the offence but applied for exceptional hardship due to his ongoing liver condition, sclerosing cholangitis, which will eventually require a transplant, but Judge Peter Forster deemed that the required threshold hadn’t been met and issued him with six points for the offence, leading to a ban under the totting-up system, and fines totalling £836.

The 44-year-old, who left his role as U21s coach a year ago, told the court he took the call as he thought it related to his health.

SamWhiteUK added 00:01 - Mar 11 Are you trying to tell me that KIERON DYER doesn't have a phone with hands-free Bluetooth? What a stupid thing to do As for Kenlock, I think it was clear to most of us that he just wasn't good enough. He had odd decent games for us, I guess. I must admit I thought he'd cut it at L2 level but there we go

FramlinghamBlue added 02:59 - Mar 11 Kenlock always looked lightweight. He also appeared like he couldn't stop a pig in a passage. Not built for football.

Linkboy13 added 08:56 - Mar 11 Watched Miles many times at youth team level and thought what a promising prospect. Unfortunately when he moved up to senior level like many young players his physical development stopped and that's when he struggled. I fear he might even find it hard at non league level. Maybe a move to a midfield role might be more beneficial as he has good technical skills. Keiron Dyer has always been one of my favourite all time Town player's and would have gained many England caps if it hadn't been for injuries. But ive always been concerned about his lack of maturity even at the age of 44 he's still the same Keiron we knew when he made his debut for Town. I just hope he sorts his life out and stays in the news for the right reasons.

Nomore4 added 11:24 - Mar 11 I'd often seen dyer on match days whilst walking past main entrance as he was heading in. I can't ever recall seeing him with ear not to phone. Once whilst with my grandson I asked if a photo could be taken. (Using sign language.) He happily obliged, even removing ear from phone for 3 seconds for photo to be taken. Off he trotted shaking hands with all around, with ear to phone.

Nomore4 added 11:29 - Mar 11 As for Kenlock, he may well be a great bloke….but was a fully paid up member of the infamous ITFC cosy club. Embarrassing at times….not good enough in others.

Buryblue78 added 12:01 - Mar 11 I had high hopes for Miles with us He never really had the courage confidence or maybe fitness to burst forward like Davis does now which held him back in my opinion Bit of an old fashioned stay at home full backs Anyway he's a blue and always will be so good luck with your future in football wherever it may be
