Having already gained senior football experience in the National League, Wodskou arrives at Damson Park as another exciting addition to Chris Millington’s squad ahead of the new campaign. At just 19, the Club believes the forward has strong potential and looks forward to supporting his continued development in a Moors shirt.

Solihull Moors are delighted to announce the signing of attacking wide player Junior Tiensia ahead of the 2026/27 National League season, subject to league and FA approval. A familiar face to Moors supporters, Tiensia returns to Damson Park following a previous spell with the Club in 2023. The exciting wide player joins from Wealdstone and adds further quality and depth to Chris Millington's squad ahead of the new campaign. Known for his pace and attacking threat, Tiensia becomes the latest addition to the Moors as preparations continue for the 2026/27 season. Chris Millington, First Team Manager, said: “Junior's versatility is clearly a benefit but the reason we have worked so hard to sign him at Moors is for the attacking threat he carries. Moors will give Junior the platform to display that attacking threat, utilising his pace and trickery he will add a great deal of creativity to our play." Everyone at Solihull Moors would like to welcome Junior back to the Club and wish him every success in blue and yellow.
Whitmore Returns to the Moors
Solihull Moors are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Jamie Andrews ahead of the 2026/27 season, subject to league and FA approval. Andrews began his career at West Bromwich Albion, where he progressed through the Club's academy before signing his first professional contract in July 2021. The midfielder gained valuable senior experience during loan spells with Leamington FC and Yeovil Town, starting every game during his time with the Glovers. Following both loans, Andrews was recalled by West Brom and made his first-team debut in January 2023, starting in the Baggies' 4-0 FA Cup victory over Chesterfield. He joined Woking on a permanent deal in the summer of 2024 and went on to make 53 appearances, including 38 starts, for the Cardinals last season. Chris Millington, First Team Manager, said: "Jamie is a player who adds quality and energy to the midfield area; he's shown that he can perform consistently at National League level and, at 23, we believe there's still plenty more to come from him. We're delighted to have him on board." Speaking on the move, Andrews said: "I’m delighted to be here. As soon as I spoke to the Gaffer and heard the direction he wants to go in, I was very keen on getting it done. This move is important to me because it’s my hometown club and where all my family have been brought up. I can’t wait to show everyone what I can bring to the team and have a successful season." Andrews becomes the fourth addition to Millington's squad this summer and everyone at Solihull Moors would like to welcome Jamie to the Club and wish him every success.
