YORK City striker Amari Morgan-Smith has joined National League North rivals Telford in an 18-month deal.

The 28-year-old forward has netted five times in 32 appearances this season, taking his tally for the Minstermen to 11 in 56 outings following his loan switch from Football League outfit Cheltenham in January 2017.

Morgan-Smith’s departure is expected to pave the way for a new striker’s arrival at Bootham Crescent.
