Hitcham Abdellah returns to Honeycroft, having played the first half of last season with the Reds.

British born of Moroccan descent, Abdellah competed as a 17-year-old on the 2010 Sky TV show `Football’s Next Star` in which the first prize was a six-month contract at Inter Milan.

Out of over 7,000 applicants, Abdellah was selected for the final ten which earned him five weeks in Italy at Inter Milan’s state of the art training complex Interello trying to win the contract before he was eventually eliminated at the semi-final stage.

He was subsequently offered and accepted a two-year scholarship with Southend United.

Since being released by the Shrimpers he has been playing professionally in Cyprus, first for Aspis Pyla and then for Second Division side Digenis Oroklini.

Goalkeeper Hossam Hassan also spent some time with the club last season as understudy to Paul McCarthy.

He started this season at Fisher in the Southern Counties East League where he has made 6 appearances.

Saleh Zaheer joins from Spartan South Midlands League Division One side Rayners Lane.

Last season he played 35 matches, scoring 11 times.
