Former Lewes, Farnborough, Whitehawk and Macclesfield Town boss King has been busy adding Anthony Acheampong, Nassim L`Ghoul, Richard Orlu, Gavin McCallum and John-Paul Kissock to his squad.

 

Twenty-seven-year-old centre-back Acheampong joins from newly-promoted rivals Dulwich Hamlet, although he had a loan spell with the Wings during last season and now begins his third stint at Park View Road.

 

Originally on the books at Cardiff City, Acheampong played for Horsham before joining Welling for the first time in 2010/11.

 

Three seasons and over 100 appearances later, he moved to Barnet, Ebbsfleet United and Maidstone United before joining Dulwich in 2017.

 

Forward L’Ghoul played in the youth team at FC Lyon and was selected for the French under-17 squad in 2015.

 

He played in the Nike Academy after coming over to England, in addition to having trials with League One sides Charlton Athletic and Sheffield United.

 

He ended up at St. Neots in November 2016 and before joining Whitehawk under Steve King at the start of October 2017, initially on loan, before making the move more permanent.

 

Defender Orlu arrives at Welling from another new league rival, relegated Woking.

 

Orlu joined the Cards in May 2017 from Dover Athletic and made 28 league appearances and scored just the one goal.

 

A tall central defender, Orlu became a fans` favourite at Dover during the club’s promotion to Conference Premier in 2014.

 

He played for Staines Town in 2010, making 33 appearances for the Swans in his first season there before moving to Farnborough in December 2011.

 

He signed for then Isthmian Premier side Canvey Island in 2012 and was ever-present in the league, making 42 appearances, scoring 2 goals.

 

Orlu moved to Dover in July 2013 for a pre-season trial and impressed enough to be signed on a one-year contract.

 

He went on to become a regular in the side during the second half of the 2013/14 season, scoring several crucial goals and helping the club achieve promotion.

 

He went on to make 133 appearances for the Whites and earn England C honours.

 

McCallum joins from league rivals Eastbourne Borough, for whom he made 142 appearances and score 25 goals after joining in June 2014.

 

He began his career with Yeovil Town before going on to join Weymouth, Havant & Waterlooville, Sutton United, Hereford United, Lincoln City and Woking.

 

He has also made an international appearance for the Canadian national team, as well as four appearances for the Canada under-20 side.

 

John-Paul Kissock is another player the manager knows well.

 

Kissock began his career in Everton’s youth team and became the youngest ever player for Everton reserves.

 

After leaving Goodison Park, Kissock had spells at Hamilton Academical and Formby before joining Southport for the first time in 2010.

 

He then went to Luton Town for an undisclosed fee as well as spending time at Macclesfield under King, and Oldham Athletic.

 

He then joined former Southport coach Pablo Asensio at Whitehawk before joining Ebbsfleet United.

 

Kissock, who has represented England at under-16, under-18 and C level, re-joined Southport in the summer of 2017.
