BROMSGROVE Sporting have swooped to sign another player from Hednesford Town following the arrival of midfielder Joe Doyle-Charles.
Doyle-Charles joins a number of other players in making the switch from Hednesford to Sporting this summer.
The experienced central midfielder won back-to-back promotions with Hednesford.
Doyle-Charles said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be signing for Bromsgrove, especially as it’s a place I’ve always enjoyed playing at over the years.
“The club is moving in the right direction, and it’s exciting to be part of that journey.
“Hopefully, we can help bring some exciting times back and create plenty of great memories for the supporters.”
The 30-year-old made more than 200 appearances for Coalville Town who he captained before joining Leamington.
Sporting have also confirmed midfielder Jordan Lyden will remain with the club in a player-coach role.
The 30-year-old former Australia youth international is already involved in the club’s pathway coaching system at Colmers School and Sixth Form College.
Lyden said: “I’m delighted to be staying at Bromsgrove for another season, and to continue being part of such a great club – I’m excited about the direction we’re heading in.
“I still believe I have plenty to offer – both through my experience on the pitch and the knowledge I can bring off it.
“I’ll do everything I can to support the squad and help us achieve the targets we’ve set for the season ahead.”
Sporting assistant boss Leon Broadhurst added: “It’s great to have Jordan as part of the coaching staff, while maintaining his fitness levels to continue playing for us.
“Lydes is a valuable part of the dressing room and his experience having played at the highest level is so important.
“His vision to how we want to play and succeed is the same as mine and the gaffer’s, and I’m sure he will be a valuable addition.”
