Enfield-born Bicknell, 29, moved from Chelmsford City to Billericay Town in November 2016, having previously had a spell with Dover Athletic.

He has also appeared for Leyton, Ebbsfleet United and Maidstone United during his career, and he netted his 100th goal for Billericay - over two spells - in March 2018.

Last season he notched 37 goals in all matches for the ambitious Essex outfit.

Leese told the club`s Ken Brazier: "We are absolutely delighted to get Bill into the club. He really wanted to be here which says a lot about the club and our ambitions this year. He knows some of our lads, which helped with his decision, and he has turned down numerous offers to play at a higher level.

"His incredible goal record speaks for itself, and he is determined to continue that this coming season. Bill is an Enfield boy and I'm sure Town fans will love his style of play. It is a major signing for us and my thanks go to the chairman and the Board for backing it".
