Fleetwood Town have signed defender Zech Medley.

The centre-back, 23, has joined the Cod Army on a two-year contract. He was a free agent, having been at KV Oostende prior to the Belgian club being dissolved because of financial problems.

Medley was in Chelsea's academy but switched to Arsenal as a 16-year-old.

He made three senior appearances for the Gunners and went on loan to Gillingham and then Kilmarnock prior to his move to Oostende in 2021.
