Allinson Brings in Trio

Lee Allinson, manager of Pitching In Southern League Premier Division South club Hendon, has swooped for three players ahead of Tuesday’s defeat against Hayes & Yeading United.

Returning to the Greens is vastly experienced forward Niko Muir.

The 29-year-old returns to Silver Jubilee Park from Vanarama National League South side Hungerford Town.

He had moved to the Crusaders in June 2022 from Billericay Town, having joined Ricay in January 2022 from another National League South rival, Hampton & Richmond Borough.

He had arrived at the Beavers in the summer of 2020 having been on loan during the latter part of the 2019/20 season from then-National League side Hartlepool United who paid an undisclosed fee to Hendon when they won the race for his signature in the summer of 2018.

He struck 40 goals in all competitions for the Greens during 2017/18 and became a target for a number of clubs before Pools completed their move.

A strong and powerful frontman, he has been a reliable source of goals for a number of other clubs on the non-League scene, including Grays Athletic, Wingate & Finchley, VCD Athletic and Leiston.

Also returning to Hendon for a second spell is defender Simeon Olarerin.

The 21-year-old is a full-back who re-joins the Greens following a spell with Combined Counties League Premier Division North side Broadfields United.

He originally signed from Staines Town in January 2020 and has also spent time with Hayes & Yeading United and Hillingdon Borough.

Allinson has also signed bustling central midfielder Tom Jackson.

The 20-year-old originally came through the ranks at League One side AFC Wimbledon.

He signed for Chipstead in the summer of 2022 from Isthmian South Central rivals Guernsey and then switched to Hendon’s league rivals Hanwell Town in November 2022, whilst also turning out for Brentford’s B team.
