Yeltz boss Russ Penn shared the following words on the recent arrival.
“I’m delighted to get Tyrone over the line. We’ve been really patient the last few weeks hoping to bring in what I believe is something different. Tyrone brings a wealth of experience both on and off the pitch. He is also a true professional in how he conducts and looks after himself. I hope everyone here at Halesowen welcomes him to the club.“
