BILLERICAY have made half-a-dozen new signings ahead of their Ryman Premier campaign.

Jay May, who has previously had spells with Croydon Athletic and Tonbridge Angels, has been brought in to lead the line for Town.

He could play alongside Courtney White, a 6ft 3in tall striker who has been prolific for Castle United in the Essex Olympian League.

Midfielder Paul Semakula, who has previously turned out for Leyton Orient, has also arrived at New Lodge.

Semakula has been out of the game with an injury, and most recently spent time on loan at Sittingbourne from Tonbridge Angels.

Central defender Matt Toms has also joined the club from Romford. The ex-Barnet man was a rock in the heart of Boro’s impressive defence last season in Ryman One North.

Town have also brought in defenders Ryan Adams, from Conference South side Hamton & Richmond, and James Hawes, who left Concord Rangers in February.

The club have also confirmed that keeper Nicky Morgan and full-back Greg Oates have agreed new deals for the coming season.
