Five More New Swans

Evo-Stik Southern League West club Slimbridge have signed five more players ahead of the 2018/19 season.

Hands, who was originally with Gloucester City and Hartpury College, left Cinderford Town last summer and teamed-up with league rivals Bishops Cleeve.

He made 36 appearances for Cleeve, scoring one goal, but couldn`t prevent them from suffering relegation to the Uhlsport Hellenic League.

Tryner is a young defender who was with Gloucestershire Senior Leaguers FC Barometrics last season and has impressed whilst on trial with the Swans, along with a couple of his former team-mates.

Midfielder Langworthy arrives from former league rivals Shortwood United, while striker Shimmen was with Gloucestershire Northern Senior League outfit Dursley Town.

Defender Turner arrives from Hellenic League side Brimscombe & Thrupp.
