The central defender has joined from National League North rivals Harrogate Town for an initial month’s stay.

The 22-year-old has National League experience with North Ferriby United and has also turned out for Scarborough Athletic.

Middleton - who has been on the books of Doncaster Rovers and Hull City as a youth - is the club’s fourth loan signing, with Adam Curry (Hull), Reece Thompson (Guiseley) and Kyron Stabana (Derby County) also with the club.

A side is allowed to name a maximum of five loanees in a matchday squad at one time.

He will be eligible to feature in Saturday’s trip to Alfreton Town (KO 3pm).
