Workington have signed Tom Wilkinson following his exit from Preston North End, as announced by their official club website.
The non-league side have been taking a look at the youngster on trial recently and he featured for them in a pre-season friendly against Carlisle United of League Two, as well as in their game against Carlisle City.
Wilkinson, 18, cut ties with Preston earlier this summer after they decided not to hand him a new deal. He will now be playing his football in the Northern Premier League.
He has found himself a new home at Workington ahead of their clash against Morecambe this weekend and has told their website: “I’m very happy to have signed for Workington as it is a great club that I can see myself succeeding at. Everybody here has been very welcoming and I look forward to the upcoming season to see what we can achieve together.
