In, 2016 Hottor signed for Inter Milan and had loan spells with Portuguese sides Athletico CP and AD Fafe before playing last season for Maltese club Sliema Wanderers.

Hottor joined Kettering Town this season and made five appearances, including starting against United in the Southern League Cup win in October.
Hotter is cup-tied so is ruled out of Saturday’s Buildbase FA Trophy tie with Hayes & Yeading but Taylor has been cleared to play.
The 19-year-old was a scholar at Wigan Athletic before joining Derby County in 2016. He had a three month loan spell with then National League North side Gainsborough Trinity.
After being released by Derby at the end of last season, he joined Oxford and has been playing for their under-23 side.
