Re-joining for a second spell with Long Eaton is the well-travelled attacking midfielder Jermain Hollis.

The now 35-year-old returns after being named as player of the year at United Counties League Premier Division North side Eastwood Community last season.

A Jamaican under-20 international, he last played for Long Eaton in 2014/15 and has been a team-mate of current manager Ian Deakin at several clubs in the past.

Nottingham-born, he has had two spells with Eastwood Town, three with Rainworth Miners Welfare, two with Hucknall Town and has also taken in stints at Kidderminster Harriers, Gresley Rovers, Carlton Town, Shepshed Dynamo, Basford United, Belper Town, Grantham Town, Coalville Town, Hednesford Town and Ilkeston Town.

Deakin had earlier brought in centre-back Tyreese Robinson from new league rivals Frickley Athletic.

The 22-year-old has gained a substantial amount of experience at a number of local clubs, including Ilkeston Town and Gresley Rovers.

He originally came to prominence at the Mickleover Sports academy when the club had high hopes for his future after he captured the attention of a number of league clubs.

A tall, athletic and pacey player, he signed for Belper Town in 2020 and then to Frickley in September 2021.
