Musanhi initially featured on trial for the Under-18s last season, playing in back-to-back wins against Norwich City and West Bromwich Albion which kick-started a strong end to the season for Rob Quinn’s side.
After putting pen to paper, Musanhi said: “I’m really excited, I feel like it’s a big opportunity for me to really show what I can do… I feel like everything I need is here and with the right amount of work I can go far.”
Academy Director Gary Issott added: “Kurai is a left-back that was here with us on trial last season and did really well at Under-18s level.
“We tracked his progress through to the end of the season and then made the decision to bring him to the club this summer.”
Director of Academy Recruitment Wesley Awad also said: “Ben Herd, current manager and director of Hertford Town, made it really really easy for Kurai to come and complete an eight-week trial with us.
“He was excellent throughout the whole process and made it easy for us to get the deal done. Ben’s motivation throughout the whole period was to give Kurai this opportunity which he worked hard for and deserved.”
Musanhi was named in the U21s side for the first time in February 2024 against West Bromwich Albion.
