Big 6`6” goalkeeper Jake Jessup joins Regent after a short spell with Isthmian North side Cambridge City.

Jessup (pictured) had only been with City since November after joining Southern League Premier Division Central outfit Leiston in the summer from league rivals Needham Market.

A real presence in goal, he joined the Marketmen in July 2018 from Chelmsford City where he played in the end of season Vanarama National League South play-off final.

He was also formerly with Mildenhall Town and Lowestoft Town.

Striker Joe Maybanks returns to Regent for a second spell from Thurlow Nunn League Premier Division side Stanway Rovers.

The 23-year-old started out with Braintree Town, where he spent time out on loan at Bury Town and AFC Sudbury before leaving the Iron in the summer of 2017 for Bishop`s Stortford.

Three months later he re-joined AFC Sudbury but left there after just a few weeks to sign for Essex Senior Leaguers Saffron Walden Town in November 2017.

He was on the move once more in May 2018, this time for his first spell with Brightlingsea before signing for Stanway in the summer.

The third new arrival is forward Lewis Byrne-Hewitt, who joins from Isthmian North outfit Witham Town.

Byrne-Hewitt started out at Norwich City as a first-year academy scholar in the summer of 2013 after he was released by Arsenal.

He joined Billericay Town August 2016 after his release from Carrow Road and trialled with Cheltenham Town the following October.

Since then he has had spells of varying lengths with Whyteleafe, Ware, VCD Athletic, Maldon & Tiptree.

And finally, youngster Sam Coombes has been snapped up from Isthmian North side Maldon & Tiptree.

Coombes was an unused sub in the Jammers` big Emirates FA Cup Second Round tie with SkyBet League Two side Newport County last month and appeared 18 times in the first team squad this season in total.

Meanwhile, long-serving defender Josh Gould has joined Thurlow Nunn League Premier Division side FC Clacton on dual registration.

Gould returned to Regent after travelling in 2014 and soon became a lynchpin in the side that gained promotion to the Isthmian League and enjoyed an excellent FA Vase run.

A solid no-nonsense defender originally with Stanway Rovers, he enjoyed an excellent second half to the club`s first season at Step 3 in 2017/18.
