Striker Harry Ottaway has joined the Nuts & Bolts from Bostik Premier newcomers Corinthian-Casuals.

Ottaway started out with Leatherhead and then had spells with Merstham, Sutton United, Dover Athletic, Dulwich Hamlet and Enfield Town before joining Casuals last season, helping them to promotion to the Bostik Premier.

He should be available to make his Ashford debut against Hythe Town on Saturday.

The visitors will probably not be pleased to see our new signing, as Ottaway scored an injury time equaliser again Hythe Town on the final game of the season, to stop The Cannons from clinching the last play-off spot in the league, and instead sent Corinthian-Casuals to the playoffs instead!

Alexander told http://ashfordunitedfc.com: “I’m delighted to have secured the signature of Harry Ottaway. It’s been a long time coming, and many coffees over the last few years but I’m really pleased to finally have him on board. He’s a player that I am certain will show his worth with his work ethic, quality of play and his fair share of goals”.

However, Josh Oyinsan, who scored 5 goals in 7 games towards the end of last season, has left the Homelands.
