Heading the list of newcomers is the experienced Tyler Weir.

 

The 27-year-old central midfielder began his career at Hereford United, making his Football League debut in May 2009.

 

Weir then spent two separate successful loan spells with Gloucester City between 2011 and 2012 before ending that year with a similar move Worcester City.

 

Worcester would make the deal permanent in the summer of 2012 before Weir made a switch back to Gloucester twelve months later.

 

After playing twenty games for the Tigers he signed a deal with Worcester for whom he racked up almost 100 appearances before joining Hednesford Town in September 2017.

 

He then made another return to Worcester before ending the season with Evo-Stik Southern Premier outfit Redditch United.

 

Weir said: “I had a few offers, but this is the right one for me. The club have great facilities and can’t wait to get going. After speaking to Andy Bevan and Sean Edwards I see this is the right move for me.”

 

Goalkeeper Ian Havard joins Westfields from West Midlands (Regional) League Premier Division side Shawbury United.

 

Originally on the books at Shrewsbury Town, the 30-year-old went on to have spells in the Welsh Premier with Bangor City and Newtown and joined Shawbury from AFC Ludlow.

 

A former team-mate of Havard`s at both Shawbury and Ludlow is 20-year-old midfielder Keanu Cooper, who also makes the switch to the Hereford-based outfit.

 

Cooper joined Shawbury at the start of the 2016/17 season, normally operating in an advanced role.

 

He flourished in a deeper midfield role and was voted as young player of the year.

 

Another new midfielder is Paul Hurrell, who arrives from league rivals Stourport Swifts.

 

Hurrell signed for Swifts in 2012, having previously been with Kidderminster Harriers, and was the club`s longest-serving player.

 

Ollie Butler joins from Bishops Cleeve, who were relegated into the Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division.

 

Worcester-based Butler started out at Kidderminster's academy and played for Dudley Sports in West Midlands (Regional) League when he was 17.

 

He started a degree in banking and finance at the University of the West of England in 2013, signing for Almondsbury UWE in the Toolstation Western League Division One.

 

In his second and third years, he played for Hallen in the Western League Premier Division, winning players’ and supporters’ player of the year in his first season.

 

After more than 80 appearances and 7 goals, he left to join Cleeve upon completion of his studies in 2016, which saw him graduate with first class honours.

 

Butler suffered a cracked skull in his first training session with Cleeve but went on to be one of the successes in an otherwise disappointing season which ended in relegation from the Southern League South West.

 

However, skipper Phil Glover has left the club after ten seasons at allpay Park after arriving from Hinton FC.

 

Glover said: “It’s with a heavy heart that I’m leaving Westfields after ten years. I have made some amazing friends and experienced some unbelievable times.

 

“This is not retirement or a fall-out with anyone, just a change that I feel is right now”.
