Barnet have signed Leicester City’s versatile defender Alie Sesay on an 18-month contract.

The 21-year-old joins the Bees ahead of tomorrow’s home game with Carlisle United and is eligible to face the Cumbrians.

Sesay, who is a full Sierra Leone international, is capable of playing at right-back or centre-back and in central midfield too.

He has previously spent time on loan at Colchester United and Cambridge United, making nine appearances in total.

Born in Enfield, the defender began his career with Arsenal’s Academy before joining the Foxes in 2010.

Called up by Sierra Leone for the first time in October 2014, he has won two caps so far.
