Wycombe Wanderers swoop for Aldershot's Ben Harding

Harding made 160 appearances during his four-year Aldershot career

Wycombe Wanderers have signed Aldershot midfielder Ben Harding on a free transfer, handing him a two-year deal.

The 26-year-old links up with Chairboys boss Gary Waddock, his former manager at Aldershot.

Harding, a signing from MK Dons four years ago, has made 40 appearances for the League Two Shots this season.

"It's great to be here, Wycombe play fantastic football and that was a massive attraction for me," he told the club website.

Waddock added: "I've known Ben for a while and his footballing ability, character and attitude will see him fit perfectly into the squad.

"He's comfortable in possession, has good vision and is somebody who will create from the middle of the park."

Harding started his career at Wimbledon and remained with the club when they moved to Milton Keynes.

He had loan spells with Forest Green, the Shots and Grays Athletic, before moving to the Recreation Ground permanently in 2007.
