The 6ft striker has vast Northern Premier League experience, having turned out for Ashton United, Stafford Rangers and FC United of Manchester at this level.

Following Charles' signing, manager Nathan Haslam said: "I'm delighted to get Jake to put pen to paper.

"He's a player that I've enquired about every off-season I've been with the club, and it's great to finally get him through the door."
