Andover New Street have strengthened their squad with two eye-catching additions as manager Jamie Coleman continues to bolster his options, bringing in Ryan King and defender Harry Redknapp Jr.
Coleman has been busy adding to his squad, with New Street confirming the arrival of King following recent spells with Shaftesbury and Melksham Town.
Described by the club as a “left-side wizard”, King provides another attacking option down the flank and arrives with experience from elsewhere in the non-league game.
His signing adds further depth to a New Street squad which has already made an encouraging start, but Coleman has not stopped there.
The club have also announced the arrival of defender Harry Redknapp Jr, grandson of former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp and son of Mark Redknapp.
The Redknapp name is one of the most recognisable in English football, but New Street will be hoping their latest recruit can make his own mark in the green and black.
Redknapp Jr came through the youth system before progressing into the professional game with AFC Bournemouth and has also featured in non-league football with Dorchester Town and Bashley.
His arrival gives Coleman another defensive option as New Street look to build on what has already been one of their strongest areas of the pitch.
The club believe Redknapp’s experience, defensive strength and quality will complement a back line which has already impressed this season.
For Coleman, the two arrivals represent another statement of intent as he continues to shape his squad and increase competition for places.
King brings creativity and an additional threat on the left, while Redknapp adds experience and further strength at the back.
New Street announced King’s arrival with the tongue-in-cheek message “JC doesn’t know when to stop”, referring to Coleman’s continued activity in strengthening his squad.
The latest additions come as Andover New Street look to continue their progress and establish themselves as a force this season, with Coleman assembling a squad featuring increasing depth across the pitch.
Both players will now be hoping to make an immediate impact and help the Green and Black Army maintain their momentum as the campaign develops.
