Christy
Finch and Dominic Docherty arrive from Evo-Stik Southern League Premier Division
Central side Leiston, while George Clarke joins from league rivals Brantham
Athletic.
Finch,
26, has spent the last four years at Step 3 side Leiston, where he regularly
found the target, scoring 59 goals in 167 appearances.
Although
Finch has more recently played at a higher level, the striker is no stranger to
the Thurlow Nunn League Premier Division.
In 2013/14,
he topped the scoring charts with 33 goals for Gorleston to walk away with the `golden
boot` that season.
Stowmarket
manager Rick Andrews told https://www.stowmarkettownfc.co.uk:
"I tried to sign Christy last season, but circumstances didn't allow it.
"Christy's
one of the best finishers I have seen and is a very unselfish player.
"At
26, I feel his best years are in front of him and it excites me that the Stow
fans will get to see him in action for us."
Midfielder
Docherty, 24, joins up with the Old Gold & Blacks for after also agreeing
to make the switch from the Blues.
Docherty
has been at Victory Road for the last two seasons, after joining from league
rivals and neighbours Lowestoft Town in May 2017.
He
returned to the UK to join the Trawlerboys midway through the 2016/17 campaign,
having been on a scholarship at Lynn Univesity, in California.
Twenty-three-year-old
striker Clarke, who was formerly at Ipswich Town's academy as a teenager, finished
as the top scorer for Brantham in 2018/19, with 13 goals in 28 games, including
one against Stow in the Suffolk Premier Cup quarter-finals in February.
Before
joining Brantham at the end of 2017, Clarke previously had spells at Hadleigh
United, Brightlingsea Regent, AFC Sudbury, where he won a Bostik North
championship medal, and Maldon & Tiptree.
Finch,
Docherty and Clarke join Dave Cowley (Ware), James Bradbrook (Brightlingsea
Regent), Jack Ainsley (Felixstowe & Walton United), Joe Jefford and Tom
Bullard (both Leiston) in agreeing moves to Greens Meadow this summer.
