Alex Lankshear played 35 games for Boston United last season
Gateshead have signed defender Alex Lankshear on a one-year contract with an option for an additional year.

He cited the presence of manager Lee Cattermole as one of the attractions for the move to the north-east.

Lankshear could make his debut in Gateshead's first home National League game of the season against Woking on Saturday.

Carlisle United have signed goalkeeper Adam Desbois from National League rivals Gateshead for an undisclosed fee.
The 25-year-old arrives at Brunton Park where he will link up with former boss Rob Elliot again, on a two-year contract with the option of a further year.
Desbois, who initially came through the Reading academy, played an important role in Gateshead's relegation escape under Elliot last season, keeping five clean sheets in 12 appearances including one at Carlisle in April.
"He has excellent technical qualities, is a very good shot-stopper and is comfortable with the ball at his feet, which gives him the ability to play the way we want to play," Elliot told the club website, external.
"He's already shown his quality consistently at this level.
"We believe he'll be a really strong addition to the group and we're looking forward to working with him and helping him continue to develop."
Before his move to Gateshead, Desbois spent the first part of last season with Slough Town, making 33 league appearances in the National League South.
