Midfielder George Doyle has joined the club from league rivals Aveley.

A hardworking central midfielder, he joined Aveley from Brightlingsea Regent in October 2017.

After starting out with Norwich City and Cambridge United as a youngster, he has gone on to have spells with Concord Rangers, Heybridge Swifts and Brightlingsea.

Cooper has also snapped up experienced defender Ashley Miller from East Thurrock United.

He has previously played for Bishop`s Stortford, Chelmsford City, Tonbridge Angels, Canvey Island and Ramsgate.

And what could be a coup signing is prolific marksman Tony Stokes from league rivals Brentwood Town, where he scored 12 goals in 45 games last season.

After starting his career with West Ham United, where he had loan spells with the now defunct Rushden & Diamonds, Brighton, Stevenage Borough and Hungarian side Ujpest, he joined the latter in 2009 following his release by the Hammers.

He then had a prolific spell with Concord Rangers, scoring 78 goals in 124 games and then turned out for Canvey Island, Concord again, Bowers & Pitsea and Brentwood, who he joined in the summer of 2018.
