| Dewayne Clarke, Sam Long and Jack Mcleod |
| The club is pleased to announce the signings of midfielder Dewayne Clarke (32) from Harrow Borough, as well as wingers Sam Long (20) and Jack Mcleod (22) from Dover Athletic and Leatherhead respectively. Dewayne made 44 appearances for Harrow last season and is no stranger to the league playoffs, scoring against K's for Boreham Wood in 2010, whilst firing Borough to the playoffs last season. Previous clubs include Boston United, Rotherham United, Farnborough Town, Waltham Forest, Dulwich Hamlet and Cheshunt. Sam started out as a youngster at Charlton Athletic, before joining Conference National clubs Grays Athletic and Histon. He made 19 appearances for Dover last season, after joining them from Croydon Athletic in the autumn. Jack spent ten years at Millwall as both a junior and YTS, before spells at Crawley Town, Carshalton Athletic and Hereford United. With Leatherhead last season. Manager Alan Dowson comments, "I've signed three dynamic players here. Dewayne makes things happen, is a box-to-box player and super fit. The two wingers have both got plenty of pace. Sam's got outstanding delivery and the fans will find Jack exciting to watch. "I'm always on the lookout for players who will make us a better team, but my focus now is on getting a striker to help Traynor and Tait out. The existing players whose names haven't been mentioned in signed or released lists all have a chance to keep/win the shirt, though competition for places will be tougher than ever - I'd say the fiercest in my six years of management." |

| Update from Alan Dowson |
| Manager Alan Dowson comments, "We've had three out of the door so far and there's likely to be one or two other following them. We were hoping to hang on to Paul Vines but as we said last week, another club offered him a significant package which for the rest of us just would be unsustainable at this level and we've got to go about things the right way for this club. "I'm meeting with a number of targets this week to add to our signings so far, Chris Page and Jerome Maledon, and hope to have a couple of them signed soon. Speaking of signings, every time someone comes, goes, or does anything in fact, our dedicated secretary Gerry Petit is always there at the heart of it. The work he does is unbelievable and he's a big support to me and everyone else around here." |

| Dean Lodge |
| Winger Dean Lodge has left the club by mutual consent, to join Carshalton Athletic. Dean made 184 appearances for the K's, scoring 48 goals, during four spells with the club spanning back to 2004. Manager Alan Dowson comments, "Lodgey's done really well for us in the past and I'm sure the fans will have fond memories of watching him play, but I think this is in the best interests of both parties. We've been unsettled by him coming and going mid-season before and so now is the right time to do this. "We'll come across him as an opponent for the first time and I'm relying on Birdie to do what he did when he was at Fleet and put Lodgey in the stands! Joking aside, I wish him all the best." |

| Update from Alan Dowson |
| Manager Alan Dowson, upon his return from holiday, "I've been in demand for the quiz but will be keeping my cards close to my chest! I know our fans enjoy a good quiz and that should set the evening up nicely ahead of the film screening. We're very proud and excited to host Adam Tyler's half hour documentary on the club. It's pretty unique within this level of the game and will hopefully gain wider coverage once released. Martin (Tyler) is flying in from the U21 championships in Denmark to host the Q&A session afterwards - that's great dedication. I'll be there with a few others to take any questions from the supporters. "In terms of players, I'm wary of jumping in too quickly in the past and so have a taken a little longer this time round. I'm hoping to have two or three signed over the course of this week and to introduce them on Thursday night." |
