Veteran forward Stuart Beavon joins following his release by SkyBet League One neighbours Coventry City.
Having played over 300
matches in the Football League, Beavon arrives at Liberty Way adding a wealth
of experience to Ginnelly’s new-look squad.
The 35-year-old Reading-born
forward came up through non-League football with Ardley United, AFC
Wallingford, Didcot Town and Weymouth.
He scored 24 league goals
for the Terras in just 86 appearances, earning him a move to Wycombe Wanderers.
In five seasons at Adams
Park, Beavon made 125 appearances, finding the back of the net 34 times.
Further Football League
spells followed with Preston North End and Burton Albion before a move to Coventry
in January 2017.
Beavon scored on his debut
for the Sky Blues and it was his semi-final goal that sent Coventry to Wembley
for the 2017 Football League Trophy final.
With first-team
opportunities limited at the Ricoh Arena, Beavon spent the entirety of last
season on loan to Wrexham, making 39 appearances in the Vanarama National
League as the Reds finished fourth, losing in the play-off quarter-finals.
Also
signing is another experienced striker, Luke Benbow.
The
powerful striker scored 20 league goals for Boro`s new league rivals Stourbridge
last season as they booked their place in the play-offs and joins for an
undisclosed fee.
He
re-joined the Glassboys a year ago from National League side Solihull Moors
having been on loan at Amblecote during the 2017/18 season.
He
had started out with Solihull and also had an earlier spell with the Glassboys
as well as with Redditch United and Hednesford Town before re-joining Moors in
July 2017. |
