Nathan Hayward joins from former Total Motion Midland League Premier Division rivals Worcester City, Jack Cresswell from Southern League Central outfit Alvechurch, Tom Rankin who has been playing in the United States and Charlie Dowd from SkyBet League One side Burton Albion.

Hayward is a central midfielder who began his career as a trainee at Birmingham City before linking up with the Kidderminster Harriers youth team.

Some fine displays led to him being called up into the Harriers first-team during the 2008/09 season and he made 14 senior appearances before being loaned to Redditch United towards the end of the 2009/10 campaign.

After being released from Aggborough, he began 2010/11 with Malvern Town before moving on later that season to Stourport Swifts.

Subsequent spells then followed at Littleton, Westfields and Bromyard Town and then re-joined Littleton early in 2015 before making the move back to Malvern.

After a spell with Stourbridge, Hayward signed for Worcester from Malvern ahead of the 2017/18 season and made 34 appearances, scoring one goal.

Cresswell is another midfielder who joined Alvechurch in November 2013 from local rivals Studley.

He numbers Walsall, Kidderminster, Redditch United and Sutton Coldfield Town amongst his other former clubs.

Birmingham-born Rankin is a midfielder who had experience with Vanarama National League North outfit Leamington whilst at Loughborough University, who he also represented in the Midland League.

He moved over to the USA to take a Masters in Business Administration and played for Carson-Newman Eagles – last season playing 18 games, scoring once.

Dowd is a young striker who Burton Albion snapped up from Sutton Coldfield as a 15-year-old.

Dowd progressed through to become a regular in the Brewers` under-18 academy team and also spent time on loan with Romulus – then in the Southern League - last season.
