Disappointingly, however, Boro suffered a 2-1 defeat to Yate Town at The Rogers Family Stadium.

Harrow included Ayodeji Owoeye, Ahmed Biler, Imran Uche and young goalkeeper Damian Las in their starting line-up against the Bluebells.

Nigerian striker Owoeye was a central midfielder when he initially joined now-Vanarama National League side Grimsby Town before he was converted to a striker and is a player with great pace and power as well as an eye for goal.

The 19-year-old joined the Mariners from Mass Elite Academy and went on to play for Grimsby Borough in the Northern Counties East League to gain experience before being released by Grimsby at the end of the 2020/21 campaign.

Biler, also 19, is a left back and a product of the Southend United academy.

He joined Boro from Southern Division One Central new boys Harlow Town, where he had been since August 2020.

He possesses plenty of pace and the ability to run with the ball and along with twin brother Huyesin, they both trialled with Watford before Ahmet signed for Southend.

Uche (pictured), 21, is a defender who joins Boro from National League South side Hampton & Richmond Borough.

He originally joined Isthmian South Central club Northwood in December 2018 on dual registration with Farnborough before switching to league rivals Bedfont Sports in October 2019.

He had also played at Fleet Town before re-joining Hampton in the summer of 2020.

And right on the eve of the opening game, Baker sought a favour from Championship outfit Fulham, who allowed him to take teenage goalkeeper Damian Las on loan to cover for Dan Lincoln, who has decided to finish the cricket season.

An American under-17 international, Las joined Fulham in September 2019 from Chicago Fire on a three-year deal.

The stopper has featured for the USA under-17s in various training camps.
