Defender Dan Akubuine (pictured) arrives from Southern League Division One Central side Berkhamsted, where he had been since December 2021.
The
28-year-old had signed for Southern Premier Division Central outfit Hitchin
Town in October 2020 from Vanarama National League South side Hemel Hempstead
Town.
He
had joined the Tudors in July 2020 following his first spell with Berkhamsted,
where he had been since the summer of 2019, signing from rivals Kempston
Rovers.
He
had signed for the Walnut Boys in 2018 from Scottish side Albion Rovers after a
spell in Sweden with Ytterhogdals IK and Skelleftea AIK.
The
former Watford and Brighton & Hove Albion scholar also had spells with
Kettering Town Hayes & Yeading United and can play either as a full-back or
wing-back.
Corby
boss Lee Attenborough told https://www.corbytown.co.uk:
"It’s great that we’ve been able to agree a deal that brings Dan to the
club. Last season he was with Hitchin at Step 3 but prior to that was with
Hemel at Step 2 so he has a wealth of non-League experience at higher levels.
“He’s
28, so the perfect age in terms of us finding the balance between experience
but still with the hunger to improve. He’s been exemplary so far in pre-season
and is equally at home at both right back and central defence so gives us very
good options.”
Chad
Timson joins the club from United Counties League Premier Division North side
Leicester Nirvana.
Timson
signed for Nirvana in the summer of 2021 having been with Vanarama National
League North outfit Kettering Town since September 2020 after arriving from
Midland League Division One side Hinckley AFC where he picked up the supporters'
young player and managers` player of the season awards.
At
the beginning of the 2019/20 season, he spent time on loan with then-East
Midlands Counties League side Clifton All Whites.
Sacha
Markelic is a pacey young winger who joins the club from Kimberley Miners
Welfare.
He
helped the Miners to promotion last season, scoring 14 goals, and was one of
the stand-out players throughout the campaign.
Previously
with Dunkirk, he spent time with manager Lee Attenborough at Loughborough Dynamo
last season on dual registration.
Urijah
Gordon-Douglas joins the Steelmen from Southern League Division One Central
outfit Barton Rovers.
The
20-year-old strong forward had joined Rovers in January 2022 from Southern
Premier Division Central side St Ives Town.
He
had been with the Saints since October 2021 after arriving from league rivals
Hitchin Town, who he signed for in the summer of 2021.
A
former Northampton Town academy striker, he has also played for Corby’s league
rivals Daventry Town.
And
finally, Lee Attenborough has been re-united with one of his stalwarts from
former club Loughborough Dynamo in Carl Sibson.
He
is a Nottingham Forest graduate who returned to Dynamo in 2017 from United
Counties League Premier Division South side Rugby Town.
He
also lists Quorn and Long Eaton United among his other former clubs.
During
his time at Dynamo, he gained cult hero status and picked up numerous accolades
throughout the years. |
