The Leicester-born, 32 year-old joins the Glassboys from Premier Division Central rivals Tamworth FC and is an athletic left-sided defender with a strong presence who is equally adept at full-back or in the heart of the defence.

Lathaniel began his career with his hometown club, Leicester City, progressing from their youth academy into the reserves without quite breaking into the first team set-up. In October 2008 Martin Allen took him to Cheltenham Town on a month's loan and soon afterwards he made his league debut in a 2 - 0 defeat away at Tranmere Rovers. Later that same season, in February 2009, he also joined Redditch United for a loan spell and then in September 2009 he was also loaned out to King's Lynn.

In February 2010 he moved to Torquay United for an undisclosed fee and he spent the next couple of years or so with the Devon club before being released in May 2012.

In July 2012 he was signed by then Conference Premier outfit Luton Town on a two-year deal. In January 2013 he played for Luton in their 1 - 0 FA Cup 4th Round win away at Norwich City - the first time in the Premier League era that a top division club had been beaten by a non-league side. However, a change of manager with John Still taking over from Paul Buckle then saw Lathaniel fall out of favour at Kenilworth Road.

In September 2013 he joined Alfreton Town on loan until January 2014 and this arrangement was subsequently extended by a further month before the loan was cut short when Luton briefly recalled him in February 2014. He re-joined the Derbyshire outfit on loan again just over a month later before joining them on a more permanent basis in the summer of 2014.

In June 2015 Lathaniel signed for Kidderminster Harriers but in January 2016 he was loaned out to Nuneaton Town for the remainder of the campaign.

He re-joined Torquay United in the summer of 2016 for a year before agreeing a one-year deal with Chester FC for the 2017/18 season.

Lathaniel signed a one-year contract with Kettering Town in August 2018, and he featured regularly at the back as the Poppies saw off the challenges from Stourbridge and King's Lynn Town to land the Southern League Premier Division Central title for 2018/19.

In June 2019 he moved to Tamworth where he has spent the last two seasons that have been disrupted by the covid pandemic.

Stour boss Mark Yates is pleased to have been able to bring Lathaniel to the club as he is another experienced performer and gives us greater flexibility in how we line up defensively.
