Collin
will compete for the Poppies number one jersey with Shaun Rowley, who joins
from National League side Solihull Moors.
The
23-year-old signed for Moors in late August 2019.
The
6`2” custodian spent the 2018/19 season with Moors` league rivals FC Halifax
Town, who he joined in the summer of 2018 from SkyBet League One side
Shrewsbury Town.
He
came through the ranks at Shrewsbury and has had loan spells with Watford,
Halesowen Town, Chorley and Tamworth.
Returning
to Latimer Park is striker Dan Holman (pictured), who left the Poppies to join league
rivals Brackley Town in June 2019.
The
30-year-old began his career at United Counties League Cogenhoe United, Oxford
City and Long Buckby before a move to then-Conference North side Histon in
2011, where he scored 28 goals in 44 games.
He
then joined Braintree Town on the Conference National and his record of 25
goals in 77 games earned him a move to the EFL with Colchester United.
He
made 5 appearances for Colchester before spending time out on loan at Wrexham,
Aldershot Town, Dover Athletic and Woking, before he settled at Cheltenham Town
in 2016.
Again,
he impressed scoring 16 goals in 18 games to help the Robins gain promotion.
But injury hampered his time at Cheltenham in the Football League, loan spells
followed at Boreham Wood and Leyton Orient before a move to Aldershot Town in
August 2018.
He
was on the bench for the Shots against Kettering in the FA Cup in November
2018, and two weeks later joined the Poppies.
He
scored 15 goals in 25 appearances as Kettering won the Southern Premier Central
title and then moved to Brackley.
Centre-back
Ryan Fryatt joins from another league rival, champions King`s Lynn Town.
He
was originally with the academies of Norwich City and Cambridge United.
He
played for Dereham Town in the Thurlow Nunn League in the 2009/10 season and,
after signing for King`s Lynn in 2010, appeared on dual registration with
Dereham and Wisbech Town in the 2012/13 season.
An
ankle injury limited his appearances in the first half of the 2016/17 season
and he once again spent a period on dual registration with Dereham.
He
helped Lynn to promotion as Southern Premier Central play-off winners in
2018/19, making 50 appearances and scoring 3 goals, but had an injury-hit
2019/20 as Lynn made it up to the National League for the first time in their
history.
Big
striker Josh Oyinsan moves to Latimer Park from Southern Premier Division
Central outfit Royston Town.
The
25-year-old re-joined the Crows in late January 2020 after a bit of a wandering
period in 2019/20.
He
signed for National League South side Welling United in July 2019 and then
switched to league rivals St Albans City in November 2019 and onto another
National League South outfit, Braintree Town, just over a month later.
The
6`5” forward netted 17 goals for Cambridge City in the Southern League Division
One Central in 2018/19.
He
joined the Lilywhites in the summer of 2018 from Royston, where he had bagged 7
goals in 23 outings for the Crows.
Previously
with Bromley, Potters Bar Town, Histon, Ware, Dunstable Town and Barton Rovers,
Oyinsan has an interesting day job, where he works as the body double for
Manchester United and France international midfielder Paul Pogba!
Another
striker joining the Poppies is 22-year-old Lorne Bickley.
He
signed for National League side Hartlepool United in March 2020 from runaway Combined
Counties League Division One leaders Jersey Bulls.
He
spent the previous four years playing in America where he was prolific in front
of goal for Wilmington University in Delaware having originally been with
Jersey Wanderers back home on the Channel Islands.
In
2018/19, he broke a long-standing scoring record when he fired over 20 goals
during their Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference campaign.
Also
new at Latimer Park is another big defender in 6`4” Ryan Holland.
The
central defender has played in the USA for Feather River College in California,
Marymount University and Penn State University.
He
has also had a spell with Northern Premier League Premier Division outfit Grantham
Town.
