The Walnut Boys have announced the signing of forward Alan Fleming.

The 23-year-old moves from league rivals Biggleswade FC, where he had been since September 2020.

Fleming started at Luton Town. However, impressing as a youngster meant Norwich City came in and paid a fee for the prospect.

He left the Canaries in May 2018 and trialled with Nottingham Forest before turning out for Kings Langley in 2018/19.

He signed for Isthmian League Premier Division side Wingate & Finchley in August 2019 and then onto Isthmian North outfit Brentwood Town in February 2020.

Up next putting pen-to-paper is left back Camille Tani.

The 19-year-old, formerly with the Pro-Academy, featured for Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division side London Colney last season and is now looking to cement a place in the team at Step 4.

Pharhon Osborne has also committed to Kempston for the new campaign.

Osborne recently played at East Grinstead Town, Bedfont and Horsham and is a natural right back.

Arel Amu, who can play out wide or through the middle of the attack, has also penned terms for Rovers.

The 27-year-old moves to Hillgrounds from league rivals AFC Dunstable, where he had been for a second spell since November 2022.

He had signed for Kings Langley in August 2021 from then-Southern Division One Central club St Neots Town, where he had been since early October 2020 after arriving from Southern Premier Central neighbours St Ives Town.

He had only signed for St Ives in July 2020 from St Neots AFC Dunstable, where he had been since December 2019.

He started 2019/20 with Walton Casuals, who he joined from Vanarama National League South side Hemel Hempstead Town and then switched to Isthmian North club Cambridge City at the end of August 2019.

He joined the Tudors in January 2019 from Dunstable Town.

He started his career with hometown club Luton Town, where he made a handful of first team appearances.

He had a short spell with Dunstable in 2014 before going on to play for Barton Rovers, Arlesey Town and Welling United before re-joining the Duns in 2017.

And finally, winger David Maison has also put pen-to-paper for Kempston.

A product of the MK Dons academy, he has recently played in the West Midlands.
