Holwell
becomes Dynamo’s second new addition after Bradley Fortnam-Tomlinson agreed to
sign for the club last week.
The
24-year-old previously played for Dynamo back in 2015 before having a short
stint with NPL Premier Division side Grantham Town the following year.
Dynamo
manager Lee Attenborough knows what Holwell can bring to the side after he
played with the defender at the club.
He told
the club`s website: “He actually came to me for the opportunity, but I was
already thinking about touching ways with him. Somebody who I played with as a
player. He came on the scene at a young age – must’ve been 20, maybe 21 and
straight away you could see how good of a player he was.
“With
Mason, I’ve had this conversation with him; everything’s mental. If he gets his
head right, his focus and he is committed to his football, he’s a top player.
And obviously I’m going to try and get that out of him this season.”
Holwell
hasn’t played regular first-team football at this level since suffering a
serious knee injury – and Attenborough knows that pre-season is going to be
massively important for the defender’s return to match fitness.
Asamoah was
a stand-out performer in the side last season, but due to being based in the
south and his need to sort out work commitments, the winger will be signing on
dual registration for this term.
He was on
the books at Bostik Premier side Hornchurch as well as Dynamo last season.
Attenborough
believes that Asamoah is one of the best wingers in the division: “Ruben will
dual sign with us this season due to re-locating down south.
“He has a
strong desire to remain with the club but needs to sort out his career and working
commitments as a priority before he can fully pledge his future to the club now
that he’s finished university.
“Ruben
came on leaps and bounds last year and his pace and energy I believe has made
him one of the best wingers in the division. He’s old fashioned and I like
that, he’ll just keep getting at defenders for 90 mins.
“He gave
some full backs a torrid time last season and I’m hoping to see some more
performances like that this year”.
