Barnes-Homer is a vastly experienced 35-year-old forward who joins the Glassboys after leaving Vanarama National League North side AFC Telford United as player-coach following the departure of manager Gavin Cowan.

 

Following three years in the youth system at Wolverhampton Wanderers, the Dudley-born player had spells in the USA before returning to the UK, where he established himself as a goalscorer, most notably with Kidderminster Harriers in 2009.

 

That earned him a move to Luton Town for a reputed £75,000 fee, and he scored 19 goals in his debut season.

 

From there he has been a nomadic figure, representing clubs the length and breadth of Britain as well as in Sweden and back in the USA, scoring goals along the way.

 

He signed for National League North club AFC Telford United in June 2017 and has also represented England C.

 

Abadaki (pictured) is a pacey winger who signed for Stourbridge having re-joined Southern Premier Division Central rivals Barwell in July 2021 from Northern Premier League Premier Division side Buxton.

 

The 30-year-old had joined the Bucks in June 2020 before switching to league rivals Matlock Town in September 2020.

 

He had re-signed for another Southern Premier Central outfit, Hednesford Town, in June 2019.

 

He made a handful of appearances for the Pitmen in 2018/19 before ending the season with Northern Premier side Witton Albion.

 

A former Blackburn Rovers trainee, he has also represented Baguley Athletic, Altrincham, Stalybridge Celtic, Ashton United (twice), Mossley AFC (twice), Buxton, Northwich Victoria, Radcliffe Borough, Salford City, FC Halifax Town, Farsley Celtic and Stafford Rangers.
