FINN Cousin-Dawson has joined non-league Spennymoor Town on a season-long loan.

The Northern Ireland under-21 defender has signed for the National League North side as Mark Hughes looks to get the younger members of his City squad some games.

Hughes said: “In fairness, they need to be open to any opportunity. It might be elsewhere, up north or across the water.

“It’s about looking at those opportunities and seeing how it would help them in terms of their development.”

The 20-year-old has made 40 first-team appearances since making his debut for Stuart McCall in 2020.
