New arrivals in line for early debuts

The Steelmen snapped up Jake Bettles, Lee Garvie and Ashley Robinson on Wednesday, pictured, before signing Peter Dearle on loan from Notts County on Thursday in time for all four to play at Belper Town on Saturday if picked by manager Kinniburgh.

Striker Bettles, who arrived from United Counties League Premier Division neighbours Desborough Town after soring 12 times in 20 appearances so far this season, also counts Harborough Town, Stewarts & Lloyds and Daventry Town among his previous clubs.

Midfielder Garvie has played most of his career locally, turning out for Thrapston Town, Stewarts & Lloyds and Desborough. Most recently at Burton Park Wanderers, he is described as one of the best midfielders to have played in the UCL.

Holding midfielder Robinson arrives from EVO-STIK League South rivals Peterborough Sports having featured at Brighton & Hove Albion, Leicester City, Quorn, Stamford AFC and Grantham Tow. He is a former Step 4 title winner with Kettering Town and Isthmian League Tooting & Mitcham United.

The last of Kinniburgh's signings, defender Dearle, joined on a work experience loan deal until the end of the campaign after being one of only four youngsters to be offered a development contract at the end of last season by his League Two parent club. In June 2016, Dearle teamed up with Diabetes UK to help raise awareness and inspire others living with the condition.
