Orsi had spells in non-league with East Thurrock United, Hungerford Town, Hampton & Richmond Borough and Maidenhead United before joining Harrogate Town in the summer of 2021.

"Luca is a goalkeeper who is well thought of at Fulham," Reds boss Scott Lindsey told the club website.

"He has really impressed me in pre-season," Reds boss Scott Lindsey told the club website.

"He has got raw talent with plenty of goals in him, and has got a very powerful shot.

"He can play out wide and as a number 10, so he is very versatile."

Williams only joined Brackley last month but a statement from the National League North team said the "two clubs have come to an agreement" for him to transfer.
