Vastly experienced goalkeeper Steve Oliver has returned to the club from South West Peninsula League Premier Division side Ilfracombe Town.

The veteran 37-year-old re-joined Ilfracombe in February 2020 from Barnstaple Town.

He had returned to Barum in December 2018 after a spell with Bridgwater Town in the Toolstation Western League.

He was Barum`s number one during their first season in the Southern League in 2016/17, before signing for Bideford, where he remained until joining Bridgwater.

His other former clubs include Appledore, Torrington, Holsworthy, Ilfracombe and Witheridge.

Also joining Bideford is midfielder Liam Short (pictured), who is on dual terms with South West Peninsula League Premier Division side Ilfracombe Town, who he signed for last month from rivals Helston Athletic.

Short started his career in the famed academy at Premier League Southampton before having his first spell with Helston.

He moved to Bideford`s league rivals Barnstaple midway through last season where he made 14 appearances and scored one goal.

He re-joined Helston in the summer.

Meanwhile, Bideford have extended the loan of 19-year-old forward Lewis Wilson from League Two Exeter City until January 2021.
