The 23-year-old full-back impressed during a trial period in early pre-season and has now been brought in for good. Melhado started his career at Newcastle Town, via a loan at Hanley, and made enough of an impression to be signed by Salford City in 2021, playing for them in the EFL Trophy.
While at Salford, there were loans at Ashton, Hereford, and AFC Telford United. Most recently, he was plying his trade in Cornwall at Truro City in the National League South, but is now back up north and ready to contribute for the Dabbers.
