A couple of non league snippets

[Reading Rebel]

Welling have signed experienced center back Dave Winfield from Chelmsford.

[Curtis]

Dave Winfield does have bags of experience & was very good when younger & played in the Football League between 2008 & 2016.

He’s 36 now though, I’m pleased we haven’t signed him.

Did exceptionally well as a stalwart defender for Chelmsford last season.

Still the positive stance is that we must have someone better lined up.

Edon Pruti is still without a club…

I would think he was on decent money at Farnborough and if he hasn't yet re-signed for them he's more than likely looking around for better options higher up the pyramid.

Farnborough have signed  experienced left back Josh Casey from Woking.

He wouldn't have come cheap but still a very good signing for Farnborough.

The problem is RR, Spencer does this every summer. Signs a load of what look great at the time and then they have a couple of months with him and it all falls apart.😂😂

Can't argue with that SF  👍

Mind you on paper Casey is still a decent signing and if announced he was signing for us I would have been well pleased.

Title winning ex Chesham keeper Zaki Qualah is still without a club.

Might be a bit different this season with Neil Baker there.

I see Torquay's new owners have been sorted and the transfer embargo has been lifted for them as well now.

Since the embargo was lifted Torquay are not wasting any time, currently they've made 8 signings.

Former Hartlepool manager  John Askey named as new manager of Truro.

If we were in the market for Pruti & Qualah they would be two top signings

Pruti and his agent will be looking around for the best deal probably from an NL club if Farnborough don't cough up which almost certainly rules us out. 

Zaki Qualah is a strange one.

He leaves a club that won the league having had a great season but now looks like he's struggling to find his next club.

Great at shot stopping and ball distribution but at 5ft 9'' it will be difficult to find a club higher up the pyramid.

Top keeper Jack Sims has left Braintree and has signed for Sutton.

I understand from a Chesham supporter that Zaki Oualah has returned to Algeria for a while.

I am also informed that due to his lack of height, although he is a good shot stopper that he needs a tall powerful nr 5 in front of him for dead balls into the box

I hope he's moved to Cornwall, as I don't fancy his mileage if he's driving ! 😀

IrishAdrian, is that the same John Askey who played for Port Vale and Macclesfield in the late 1980's/early 90's?

I was thinking the same. He's from somewhere up north so must have re located.
