Walton & Hersham boss Les Cleevely has made a treble swoop from neighbours Molesey as he plots an instant return to the Ryman Premier League.

Cleevely, who made more than 500 appearances between the sticks for Carshalton Athletic, has signed brothers Jay and Lee Richardson.

"I have worked with them before so I know what they are all about," said Cleevely.

"They are very good footballers who are comfortable on the ball so they will be a great addition for us."

Cleevely has also swooped to sign former Fulham trainee and Molesey skipper Aaron Nowacki.

However, Ashley Dumas could be heading out of the Walton & Hersham exit door, with the defender's agent trying to find the defender a club at a higher level.

Cleevely's side started their pre-season preparations two weeks ago as the boss looks to get his squad prepared for the forthcoming season.

But there has been an early cost, with Louis Cark breaking his ankle during one of the early training sessions.

Despite losing three players, Molesey boss Steve Webb's plans have for the new season been boosted by the club's successful appeal to stay in Ryman Division One South.
