After impressing in a number of pre-season games this summer and grabbing an equaliser in the last friendly against Bradford Town, Davis-Wilson (pictured) was added to the Somerset side’s squad for the start of the season.

 

The 26-year-old had been at Southern Premier Division South side Dorchester Town since October 2020.

 

He started his career at League One Bristol Rovers` academy before spells at clubs including Frome and Yate Town as well as in Sweden with FK Tonsberg and Torsby IF.

 

Manager Danny Greaves told his club’s website: "I am pleased to welcome Laurent into our group. He had a short spell with us during our relegation season, and I have worked with him at Bradford after his short spell in Sweden following his release from Bristol Rovers.

 

“He is a big and strong athletic centre forward and has impressed in the past two weeks. He further strengthens our attacking options which is crucial in any team looking to challenge at the top end of any division."

 

Frome also announced the signing of midfielder Ben Starr, also following a successful trial and impressing in a number of pre-season games this summer, catching the eye of supporters.

 

The 23-year-old joins from Southern Premier Division South side Salisbury, where he had been since August 2021.

 

He was with Wessex League One side Downton in 2020/21 and moved to the Robins from then-Toolstation Western League, now Hellenic League Premier Division outfit Calne Town.

 

He signed for Calne in July 2109 having previously played for Corsham Town and Oldland Abbotonians.

 

Greaves added: "Ben has impressed throughout pre-season after coming highly recommended by ex-Totton manager Dan Stackman who was his football manager at Portsmouth University. He is versatile, quick and technically decent which suits our style of play. He has moved back to the area and after his impressive performance we are delighted he has decided to sign".
