We are pleased to announce the addition of Akwasi Marfo, Troy Williams and Ruddock Yala to the squad

Marfo spent last season at Dulwich Hamlet but a broken foot restricted his appearances. His performances and workrate out on the right, with a match-winning goal under his belt, were enough to cement a place in the squad for the coming season.

Williams joins from Tooting & Mitcham who he rejoined from Merstham late last year. A utility midfielder he has impressed in both a holding and forward role.

Yala needs no introduction after joining from Boreham Wood and making the centre-back position his own towards the end of last season. The no-nonsense defender has developed a good understanding with Jay Leader and the club is delighted to retain his services going into the new season.

Manager Jody Brown has been patient in building a squad that fits the style and system he wants to play but is delighted at the contribution all three players have made throughout the pre-season programme and their potential for the future.

Speaking after training tonight Brown said "pleased to be signing Akwasi, Troy and Ruddy as all three are good young players that can hopefully develop here for the long term."
