The 33-year-old Halifax club captain, who has made over 400 appearances for the Shaymen, is yet to make an appearance this season. Moors boss Chris Millington worked with him when he was manager of Halifax and he will now link up with several other former team-mates including Scott High, Jevon Mills, Nat Ford, Tyrell Warren, and Florent Hoti. Solihull sit 23rd in the National League table following their most recent of this season's 10 defeats - the 5-0 reverse at Worthing on 10 October when keeper Max Metcalfe had to be substituted at half-time. Moors, who have won just two and drawn one of their 13 league games in 2026-27, host Carlisle United on Saturday at Damson Park (15:00 BST).
