ATTACKING RANKS BOLSTERED BY BARTLETT
Manager Scott Bartlett has bolstered the squad ahead of the run-in by signing versatile left-sided player Lewis Hall from Taunton Town as well as winger Jennison Myrie-Williams, who makes his return to The Optima Stadium.
Scott said:
With so many postponements causing disruption to our schedule, there was a need to bolster the squad.
I am delighted to secure the services of Jennison and Lewis, two experienced and versatile players that have shown a good desire to come and be part of the run-in.
We are going to have an incredible amount of games in a short space of time. It’s a difficult task but we are going to hit it head on and have a right go and see where we end up.
