Fleetwood Town sign former Barcelona youngster Godswill Ekpolo

League One side Fleetwood Town have signed former Barcelona youngster Godswill Ekpolo.

The Nigerian, who spent 11 years at Camp Nou, previously captained Barcelona's Under-21 team before turning out for their B side last season.

The 21-year-old had been on trial at Fleetwood over the last two weeks and his signing was completed before Monday night's FA Cup first-round tie at Southport, where he made his debut in a 0-0 draw.

Fleetwood, who are currently 10th in League One after 16 games of the 2016-17 campaign, are yet to disclose the length of the defender's contract.
