Vastly experienced striker Elliot Benyon (pictured) has arrived at Arbour Park from league rivals Oxford City.

 

The 34-year-old had joined the Hoops in October 2019 having returned to Pitching In Southern League Premier Division South side Hayes & Yeading United from Leatherhead in December 2018 after first joining United in January 2015 on loan from Torquay United, playing a large part in them avoiding relegation that season.

 

In August 2015, he re-signed for Hayes & Yeading on a more permanent basis following his release by Torquay, top scoring with 18 goals at season end before opting for a move to neighbours Wealdstone in the summer as United were relegated. 

 

He came through the ranks at Bristol City without making an appearance, although he did have loan spells with both St Albans City and Crawley Town while with them prior to signing for Torquay in 2007, making a sub appearance at Wembley in the 2008 FA Trophy Final.

 

Another visit was made to Wembley the following season as the Gulls won promotion back into the Football League from the Conference in a Promotion Final win over Cambridge United.

 

After first leaving Torquay, he played for Swindon Town, Southend United and Wycombe Wanderers before returning to Torquay in July 2013.

 

Having left Hayes & Yeading for Wealdstone in the summer of 2016, he then found his way to Leatherhead via short stops at Enfield Town and Whitehawk.

 

Midfielder John Goddard joins the Rebels from another league rival, St Albans City.

 

The 29-year-old had been with the Saints since August 2021.

 

He had re-signed for National League Woking in August 2020.

 

He joined Ebbsfleet United in July 2019 after his six-month deal with league rivals Aldershot Town came to an end.

 

He had joined the Shots in January 2019 from Stevenage following a loan spell at the Shots’ National League rivals Bromley earlier in the season.

 

He is best known for his three seasons at Woking where he won their 2015/16 player of the season and scored 27 times in 128 appearances.

 

His impressive string of performances at Woking earned him a move to then-League One with Swindon Town before he joined Stevenage in January 2018.

 

He was capped twice at England C level.

 

Returning to the Rebels after a short spell away is defender Guy Hollis.

 

The 31-year-old left Slough at the end of January to join league rivals Havant & Waterlooville due to his work circumstances.

 

But they have changed, and he recently agreed to mutually terminate his contract with the Hawks and expressed a desire to return to Arbour Park.

 

Hollis had originally signed for Slough in June 2013 from Godalming Town and made 375 appearances.

 

He is a quick, solid central defender who started his career for Ashford Town (Middx.) at the age of 17.

 

He had an exceptional year in the 2015/16 season, scooping all the player of the year awards.

 

After several seasons at Ashford, he then moved up to the Isthmian Premier with Carshalton Athletic before moving to Godalming, where he was the 'G's player of the season for 2011/12.

 

Also making the short journey back to Arbour Park is left back George Wells.

 

The 26-year-old had left the Rebels in August 2020 to join National League neighbours Maidenhead United, having originally joined from Kingstonian in the summer of 2017.

 

Slough had kept tabs on him since he made his debut for Hampton & Richmond Borough at a young age, and he has since developed into an excellent defender.
