Hendon have begun strengthening for next season with the capture of Enfield Town captain Mark Kirby and ex-Fulham youngster Mahrez Bettache.

The Isthmian Premier Division play-off runners-up have wasted no time in boosting their ranks for next season, re-signing Towners skipper Kirby after five years away from the Greens.

Following the centre-back to Earlsmead is 21-year-old attacking midfielder Bettache, who joins from Corinthian-Casuals. He began his career with Fulham.

New Wingate & Finchley director of football Simon Lane has been equally busy, making two new signings from Arlesey Town.

Martel Powell, a former Arsenal trainee, and Jevani Brown, an ex-professional with Peterborough United, have been made the switch.

Both players are midfielders and Powell has worked with Lane previously as Maidenhead United.
