STORTFORD SWOOP FOR NORWICH CITY STARLET

By Alan Scott

NORWICH City starlet Damon Lathrope has signed on loan for Bishop's Stortford.

The 20-year-old midfielder is in the squad for tomorrow's trip to Worcester City in Blue Square South.

Blues boss Mark Simpson has also wrapped up the permanent signing of Scott Shulton, who was on loan from Blue Square Premier club Ebbsfleet.

Lathrope will stay at the club for the rest of the season.

A Blues FC spokesman explained: "The youngster signed professional forms for the Canaries in 2008 and has made 50 appearances for the reserves, scoring five goals."

Shulton has impressed in his three matches for Blues.

Simpson needed central midfield cover as Ben Bowditch and Craig Edwards are expected to miss the rest of the season.

Glen Southam is set to leave at the end of December and has been linked with a Football League club.

Gambian Max Lette Jallow is not expected to return to the club, and this has left Stortford short of midfield options.
