Birmingham City have signed Northern Ireland under-21 midfielder Robin Shroot on a two-and-a-half year deal.

Shroot, 20, joins Blues after being released by Ryman League Premier Division Harrow Borough.

The youngster, who had spells with AFC Wimbledon and Staines Town, impressed boss Alex McLeish during a short trial.

Meanwhile, Blues have allowed their reserve keeper Artur Krysiak to join Scottish Premier League side Motherwell on loan until the end of the season.

The Poland under-19 international, who played in the SPL with now defunct Gretna last season, has yet to make a first-team appearance.

But Krysiak, 19, has just returned from a three-month loan spell at Swansea, where he played twice.
