New manager Alex Walsh has bolstered his frontline with the addition of three more forwards after bringing in four players last week.

Nicholas Mynhardt and Shabazz Omofe have both dual-signed from Lewes whilst Jason Dawson has been brought in from Montpelier Villa.

Omofe has previously played for Chelsea U18s before signing a professional deal at Bristol City, whilst Mynhardt has spent three years at South African top-flight side Kaizer Chiefs.

Walsh said: “They’re all attacking minded players. They can add quality in terms of goals and creating assists which is something we need to improve as second-lowest scorers in the league.

“We need to add goals to our team and quality around that area and I think all three of these players have played at a high level so coming into the Sussex County they should be well adept to perform week-in week-out for us.”

Mynhardt and Omofe both started in Saturday’s 1-1 away draw against Saltdean, whilst Dawson made a late cameo as a sub. Walsh was particularly pleased with the performance of his starters and backed them to be among the goals.

He added: “Nicholas worked tremendously hard and he’s a player that, even in training, we can see signs of a top player there. He’s done well where he’s been but you can see he needs a goal to take the shackles off him and he’ll then start scoring a few more for us.

“Shabazz is a top player. He’s played at a good level. He’s been at Chelsea and then Bristol City as a pro and he’s just getting his match fitness up but he’s got the quality to be a very good player in this league.”
