Leo Decabo returns to the club for a second spell at the Robert Parker Stadium, having played for the club as a teenager. He was impressive for Windsor & Eton last season and adds a lot of technical ability to the squad.
Ritchie Mbele signs having impressed in pre-season. He brings experience of Step 4 football with him, having previously played for Farnham Town, Merstham, and Hendon.
Jaiden Celetine-Charles will bring pace and power to the attack. A former Millwall academy player who has also represented Slough Town and Burnham, ‘JC’ is an exciting addition to the squad.
