Midfielder Luke Holmes (pictured) has joined the club from Pitching In Southern League Premier Division side Poole Town, who he re-joined in the summer of 2022. The 26-year-old returned to the Dolphins following another spell with Wimborne Town. He was in his third spell with Wimborne before leaving to join Southern Premier South side Salisbury in late August 2019. However, his stay at the Ray Mac was a brief one as he moved onto another league rival, Poole, in September 2019. He re-signed for the Magpies in June 2016 from Dorchester Town. He had initially joined on a permanent basis in October 2015 from Poole but was first a Magpie in 2014/15 when he made 17 appearances on loan from AFC Bournemouth. He returned to Wimborne again in September 2020. Re-joining Shaftesbury from Southern Division One South side Bashley is centre-back Cameron Beard. The 24-year-old had re-joined Bashley in January 2023 from Shaftesbury. He made 50 starts for Shaftesbury during the 2021/22 campaign as the Rockies attempted a charge for promotion from the Wessex League - notching 14 goals. In addition, whilst not achieving promotion with Shaftesbury, the former attacker did win silverware in the form of the 2022 Wessex League Cup. He has also found the net on 34 occasions in 49 appearances in a Bashley shirt over two spells between 2018-2021, with a short time at Hamworthy United between those stints - scoring 9 goals in 14 matches for the Hammers.
