TYRELL Mitford has been rewarded for a blistering start to the season with Winchester City.

The 21-year-old striker - hat-trick hero of Saturday's 4-1 FA Cup win at Merthyr Town - has agreed a two-year contract with the Evo-Stik Division One South club.

A club statement released this evening said: "Tyrell, who was previously at QPR, has made an outstanding start to the season, scoring 9 goals in just 10 appearances.

"We believe that Ty has the ability to play at a much higher level - and hopefully score some vital goals for WCFC along the way!"
