AMBITIOUS Little Oakley have bolstered their squad with three new signings.

The Essex and Suffolk Border League outfit have recruited goal king Jordan Heath, defender Matt Stace and midfielder Steve Polley.

All three will enhance a squad with the title in its sights next season, having finished as runners-up last term.

“Although we had an excellent season, we didn’t want to stand still,” said Acorns joint-boss Paul Sadler.

“We wanted to strengthen our squad further so worked hard to secure the signatures of Jordan, Matt and, for his first season with the club, Steve, who joins us from Dedham Old Boys.

“It’s also great to have Richard Green and Alex Warnes back from long-term injury, although the latter aggravated his knee recently so his start to the season has been delayed.”
