The talented AFC Bournemouth defender has been a huge hit at Westleigh Park this season.

He had been looked at by a number of Football League clubs.

The 20-year-old has put in some exceptional performances.

Bradbury feels it says a lot about the club that he can continue to develop as he wants with the Vanarama National League outfit.

The Hawks manager said: ‘I am very pleased to get him for the rest of the season.

‘He has developed nicely and achieved what he set out to do when he came to us.

‘Tyler is a good footballer and is now becoming more aggressive in his defending.
