Highly-rated 24 year-old Duane, who can play anywhere along the back-line, began his career at Youth level with Derby and Birmingham - but after failing to secure professional terms with the latter he joined up with AFC Telford to kick-start his career.

His first campaign there could barely have gone better - his impressive performances landed him not only the club's Player of the Year award but also a dream move into the Football League with Burnley, the Clarets paying £25,000 for his services and snatching him from under the nose of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

He spent just one season at Turf Moor, making eight appearances before the search for more regular first-team action took him to the Premier League of Wales and T.N.S. in 2006.

Once again he wasted little time making his mark and he ended his first term in the country's Team of the Year. He remained a regular in the Saints' side for the next two seasons - making 35 appearances in 2008/09 alone.

After leaving the club he came to Aggborough on trial - and landed a one-year contract.
