His first two new signings were forward Tom Richardson from Bostik League North side Aveley and defender Jake Hutchings from Bostik Premier outfit Merstham.

 

Now he has brought in Ade Cole, Roman Michael-Percil, Aaron Lamont and Trey Charles.

 

Midfielder Cole is a former Blackpool youth who has also played for Enfield, Romford, Grays Athletic and Canvey Island.

 

The 24-year-old signed for Driver at Leiston three years ago but left in the summer of 2017 because of issues with the travelling up to Suffolk from East London.

 

He joined Canvey Island in February 2019 from Grays where he was named in the Bostik North team of the year at the end of the previous campaign.

 

Winger Michael-Percil returns for a second spell at Cressing Road having been a key part of the squad two years earlier.

 

Prior to that, he had spells at Tottenham Hotspur, Billericay Town, Farnborough Town, Metropolitan Police and Dulwich Hamlet.

 

Following promotion via the play-offs, he left Cressing Road to join National League South sides St Albans City and East Thurrock United before switching Bostik Premier side Merstham - where he reached the play-off final – in January 2019.

 

Driver has also snapped up 23-year-old midfielder Aaron Lamont.

 

A product of the Queens Park Rangers academy, Lamont was in the Truro City side that made the National League South play-offs and reached the First Round of the FA Cup during 2017/18 season.

 

After leaving Truro, he had a spell last season with National League South side Hampton & Richmond Borough before joining Bostik Premier side Kingstonian.

 

Left-footed winger Trey Charles, who can play on either flank, re-joins the Iron from Bostik South Central side Northwood.

 

Formerly with Luton Town as a youngster, Charles made his senior debut at St Albans City during the 2012/13 campaign.

 

He was dual registered with Northwood and Bedford Town in 2018/19 having joined Bedford in November 2018 from Hitchin Town.

 

He had been at Braintree earlier in the 2018/19 campaign after returning from Scotland where he was on trial with Dundee United, where he turned down a short-term contract.

 

His other former clubs include Leverstock Green, Colney Heath, Arlesey Town, Ampthill Town, Stotfold and Leighton Town.
