The club is pleased to announce the signing of midfielder Matt Pattison (27) from Walton & Hersham. Matt's previous clubs are Camberley Town, Farnborough, Woking, Rushden & Diamonds and Basingstoke Town, as well as a loan spell with K's in 2004.
Manager Alan Dowson comments, "Matt is a quality all-round player who can pick a pass and bring goals to the team from midfield. He's been playing Conference National/South football ever since he was last here, though chose not to go full time at Farnborough a couple of months ago and so this opportunity has come about."
The club is pleased to announce the loan signing of winger Fola Orilonishe (25) from Sutton United. Fola has been at Sutton for the past couple of seasons and previously spent three years with Thurrock.
Manager Alan Dowson comments, "Fola is the kind of player we have been crying out for - a direct winger who can scare defenders with his pace. He's naturally left-sided and so will also add balance to the team going forward."
A late Tom Hutchinson goal saw Kingstonian share the points with Hastings following a one-all draw.
Ben Davisson had put the visitors in the lead in the 48th minute, and Lee Carey had an opportunity to double the lead but saw his spot kick saved by Rob Tolfrey. Hutchinson's 89th minute equaliser wasn't the last drama in the game, as both sides had a good chance apiece to win the game before the final whistle brought to an end an exciting finish.
The Isthmian Veterans Cup quarter final, scheduled for this coming Monday, has been postponed at the request of Met Police. The game will now take place on Wednesday 4th January, kick off 7.45pm at Imber Court.
Kingstonian secured their first cup win of the season following a four-nil win over a youthful Welling side.
Bobby Traynor opened the scoring in the tenth minute before Hongi Moon drilled home his first goal for the club in the early stages of the second half. Traynor ran through on goal to add another on the hour mark, before Stuart Duff grabbed his first for the club to finish the scoring.
The hosts rallied in the closing stages and struck the crossbar, whilst Tom Hutchinson saw a headed effort turned past the post by the home goalkeeper right at the end.
Leatherhead put three goals past Kingstonian to pick up their third win of the season.
Vernon Francis opened the scoring before Tom Hutchings added a second on the stroke of half time. As K's sought to find a way back into the game, Francis struck again in the 77th minute to seal the result.

Alan Dowson is pleased to have signed up Fat Boys in time for Sunday's game:
"I've been looking for a good all-rounder, based locally and available any day of the week. Rumours from a group of our supporters have long suggested that the service at Fat Boys Cafe next door to us in Kingston Road is excellent and that their end product is consistently good. I went along this week on a scouting mission and was very impressed. They all deserve to wear the shirt and so will be in our red and white hoops come Sunday, with a view to a longer term arrangement."
Fat Boys Cafe will be match sponsors for Sunday's game against Leatherhead, and warmly welcome K's supporters with their extensive menu of meals and snacks.
Kingstonian manager Alan Dowson is back for first team training tonight and will be managing the side against Leatherhead on Sunday.
Alan would like to thank Mark Hams and Martin Tyler for managing the team during his absence and to thank everyone who has sent him get well cards, texts and left messages of support.
A 61st minute Sam Clayton goal proved enough to secure all three points for Kingstonian at Rookery Hill, moving them into the top half of the league table for the first time this season.
