The former Biggleswade Town boss, who took over at Hillgrounds in May, has brought back one or two former favourites, whilst adding several new faces.

Defenders Seb Simpson, Dean Dummett and Kyle Lincoln all return to the Walnut Boys. 

Simpson is a full-back who re-joins from Northern Premier League Division One Midlands side Cambridge City.

He had moved to City in November 2018 from the Walnut Boys and his previous clubs were Bedford Town and Cranfield United.

Dummett is a 31-year-old defender who made his debut for Bedford Town in September 2017 and played 23 times that season.

Previously with Ampthill Town, Bedford FC and Crawley Green, he first moved to Kempston in March 2019. 

He switched to another Southern Division One Central rival, Barton Rovers, in July 2019, then to Southern Premier Division Central outfit AFC Rushden & Diamonds in August 2021 and back to Barton Rovers in October 2021.

Lincoln, 33, is a much-travelled left-back who returns to Hillgrounds from Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division side Aylesbury Vale Dynamos.

He had joined Dynamos late in 2021/22 from Kempston, who he originally signed for in November 2021 from Southern Premier Division South side Kings Langley, who he joined in August 2021.

He had signed for Stratford Town from Southern Premier Central rivals Bromsgrove Sporting in September 2019 and then re-joined Southern Division One Central outfit Berkhamsted in March 2020 before joining Southern Premier Central St Ives Town in July 2020.

He had signed for the Rouslers in February 2019 from Dunstable Town, who suffered relegation to the Spartan South Midlands League at the end of the 2018/19 season.

He also numbers Biggleswade United, Leighton Town, AFC Dunstable, Hitchin Town, Barton Rovers, Berkhamsted, Bedford Town and Crawley Green amongst his other former clubs.

Striker James Hatch joins Kempston from United Counties League Premier Division South side Eynesbury Rovers.

Another very experienced player, he joined Rovers in 2019 from Spartan South Midlands League side Arlesey Town.

He had two spells with Arlesey, sandwiched by time at Leighton Town, for whom he notched 24 goals in 38 games in 2017/18.

He had a couple of other stints with Leighton as well as serving Dunstable Town, Barton Rovers, Hemel Hempstead Town and Bedford Town.

Nunn has a new young goalkeeper to challenge the experienced Carl Knox for the number one jersey in George Rose (pictured).

The 20-year-old came through the academy at League One MK Dons.

Whilst at Stadium MK he had loan spells with Spartan South Midlands League side Crawley Green and Isthmian League North Division outfit Hullbridge Sports.

Following his release by the Dons in 2020, he returned to Crawley Green and also registered with Vanarama National League South side Slough Town.

A former team-mate of Rose at MK Dons, Harry Riley, has also joined the Walnut Boys.

The 19-year-old defender also came through the Dons` academy and spent time on loan with Kempston’s league rivals Hertford Town last season.

Another 19-year-old, midfielder Ben Stevens, arrives at Hillgrounds following his release by Championship side Luton Town.

He came through the Hatters` academy and was a regular in their under-18 side.

He is also well-known to manager Chris Nunn, who had him on loan at Biggleswade Town from October 2021 until January 2022.

Wide midfielder Magloire or MJ Muyembe has also joined the club after being with now-United Counties League Premier Division South side Histon since December 2021.

The 21-year-old is another who was with Nunn at Biggleswade Town and has also been on the books at Ampthill Town, Cockfosters, AFC Rushden & Diamonds and Hemel Hempstead Town.
