Prior to this afternoon’s league game against Torquay United, we are pleased to announce two new recruits.

The first is Yacou Traore. A combative English-Malian defensive midfielder, the 21-year-old joins having spent the past three years in Middlesbrough’s youth ranks. He has also gained senior experience with Wealdstone, where he made 7 National League appearances in a loan spell last term.

The second is experienced striker Corie Andrews. The 28-year-old has the likes of AFC Wimbledon, Wealdstone, Aldershot, and Oxford City on his CV, and joins us for the remainder of the season on loan from Maidenhead United.

“Corie has not had the greatest time at Maidenhead but he’s extremely capable at this level,” said Gavin Macpherson. “I spoke to him in the summer when I tried to being him in then. If I can get a tune out of him, we’ve got a very good centre forward.”

Both are available for selection this afternoon. Welcome, lads!
