Stuart Gray has added to his dcefensive options at Hillsborough by signing young Belgian defender Marnick Vermijl from Manchester United.

Vermijl's preferred position is right-back though he is capable of filling any defensive role. The 23-year-old moves to Hillsborough for an undisclosed fee on a 3-and-a-half year contract.

The full-back, who was highly rated by former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson during his time at the club, spent last season on loan at NEC Nijmegen in Holland and represented his country over 40 at youth levels.
