Striker Lewis Smith (pictured) makes a swift return to the club from Isthmian Premier Division neighbours East Thurrock United.

The 29-year-old had only switched to the Rocks in June.

He started his career with Fulham, where he spent three years as a professional before being released in 2008 when he joined Bishop`s Stortford.

Short spells with Chelmsford City and Thurrock followed before he signed for AFC Hornchurch in 2012 where he made 44 appearances and scored 12 goals. That earned him a move to the Rocks for the first time in 2014.

He played for the Dockers during the 2018/19 season and scored 27 goals but, struggled to settle at Rookery Hill.

Goalkeeper Mitchell Ware made his debut in goal for the Dockers on Saturday having joined from Isthmian South Central side Barking.

Ware began his career at West Ham United’s academy, but left due to limited opportunities in December 2015.

He signed a two-year scholarship deal with SkyBet League One side Ipswich Town in the summer of 2016, despite an offer from Stoke City and the offer of a professional deal at Southend United.

And he made numerous appearances for the Tractor Boys under-18 and under-23 teams and also had loan spells with Lowestoft Town and Aveley.
