Central midfield duo Mahmoud Juma and Tom Maddison, defender or midfielder Kieran Harrison and left-back Chris Hollist have all linked up with James Jepson’s squad.
Juma and Maddison join from United Counties League Premier Division side Leicester Nirvana and Midland League Premier Division outfit Dunkirk respectively, and both have higher level pedigree having spent time at step four in recent years.
Twenty-five-year-old Juma counts Quorn and Stamford AFC among his former clubs but spent last season in the UCL with Leicester Nirvana, for whom he played 37 times as the side finished sixth in the Step 5 league.
Nicknamed `The Sergeant` and described as a tough-tackling midfielder, Jepson says Juma will add steel to the core of the Hinckley side and provide protection for the defence.
Meanwhile, Maddison, 27, was a part of Dunkirk’s East Midlands Counties League title-winning side last season and joins former team-mates Steve Chaplin and Daryll Thomas in making the switch to AFC.
The former Lincoln United and Carlton Town midfielder also counts Kidsgrove Athletic and Loughborough Dynamo among his previous clubs.
Having only just turned 20, Harrison is equally comfortable at the heart of the defence or midfield and has just left Mansfield Town`s academy after his first year as a professional at Field Mill.
He spent last season on loan with Evo-Stik Northern Premier South side Belper Town, and, despite his age, featured a number of times for the Stags’ under-21 side.
On the addition, Jepson told the club`s official website: “Kieran is just the type of character we want at the club.
“First and foremost, he is a good footballer at home in either defence or midfield, and whilst he is still only young he is a winner and has experience playing at Mansfield Town.
“He has only just left full-time football and to have him with us is a real coup for the club.”
Former Barwell and Stamford man Hollist came through the youth system at Coventry City and spent time with Deeping Rangers last season in the United Counties League.
Upon his release from the Ricoh Arena, he joined Vanarama National League North side Nuneaton Town before moving onto Rugby Town and Barwell.
