And all three are familiar faces to supporters at Top Field as they have been with the Canaries before.

Toby Syme (pictured) returns to the club from Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division side Harpenden Town.

The now 23-year-old full-back originally came through the academy at Norwich City.

In May 2017, it was announced that he would be leaving the Canaries when his contract expired at the end of June 2017.

In July 2017, he trialled with Bolton Wanderers playing for their under-23 side, but he subsequently signed for Hitchin.

He made 28 appearances for the Hertfordshire Canaries in 2017/18, scoring once, and also had a loan spell with Spartan South Midlands neighbours Stotfold.

In July 2018 he moved to Kings Langley but in the October of that year he joined Leverstock Green.

In the summer of 2019, he moved to Tring Athletic before signing for Harpenden in January 2020.

Another defender, Delsin Ackom, re-joins Hitchin following a short spell with Southern Division One Central outfit Barton Rovers.

The 21-year-old only moved to Rovers in February 2022 from Hitchin, where he had been since September 2021.

He progressed through League One MK Dons’ youth ranks before departing in 2019.

He had spells with Spartan South Midlands League sides Potton United, MK Gallacticos and Buckingham Athletic as well as United Counties League outfit Desborough Town.

In the summer of 2020, he took advantage of League Football Education’s Erasmus+ Player Placement, by spending time with Spanish club CD Almuñecar City.

He was offered the opportunity to join the Malaga-based fifth tier outfit, as part of a three-month programme aimed at providing apprentices with an opportunity to experience European training facilities and techniques with a club in Europe.

Young midfielder Callum Kane has also moved back to Top Field from Spartan South Midlands League neighbours Baldock Town.

He had originally been with the club’s academy which saw him progress on to MK Dons academy as well as playing senior football for Baldock.
