There have been a couple more player movements ahead of Saturday's trip to Truro City.
Leaving the club is Luca Valentine, who has decided the time has come to move on. Luca joined in the summer and made 13 appearances, scoring once at Yate Town. We'd like to thank him for his efforts over the past couple of months with the club and wish him well for the future.
Incoming is Reece Mitchell who made a few appearances last season whilst on-loan from Wealdstone.
Reece also had a spell at Wingate & Finchley last term and re-joins us on dual-registration from Haringey Borough, going straight into the squad for Saturday's game.

A much improved, but youthful Hendon side went down 3-2 at Hayes & Yeading United this evening in their latest league fixture.
Missing more than half a dozen first team regulars, the Greens took the lead through a neat Francis Amartey finish after 19 minutes and went on to hit the inside of the post and underside of the bar before Omar Rowe was able line up a 20 yard strike to equalise.
Hassan Jalloh put the hosts in front three minutes after the restart and Ogo Obi won and converted a penalty 12 minutes from time to extend the advantage to two goals.
Amartey scored an outstanding solo effort with 2 minutes remaining to reduce the arrears and in spite of heavy Hendon pressure late on, the home side held on to secure the points.

Hendon slipped to a third consecutive league defeat on a damp afternoon at Silver Jubilee Park.
Thomas Leak opened the scoring just after the half-hour mark with a tap in at the far post and Tobias Holmes doubled the lead seven minutes later with a similar finish to give the visitors a 2-0 lead at the break.
Hendon improved after the break but were unable to get back into the game before Leroy Lita completed the scoring with a precise finish in second half stoppage time.

Saturday's game with Salisbury falls on the latest Non League Day. With large sections of the EFL and, of course, the Premier League on their international break, Non-League clubs have the chance to put themselves in the spotlight and show just what the game below the top-four levels has to offer.
This season we are honoured to play host to a number of friends and family who will be at Silver Jubilee Park to remember Luca Roberts, who tragically passed away in the summer. Luca attended his first Hendon game at the age of 2 and was a regular home and away for many years before moving down to the South-West. Even then, Hendon's results were the first he looked out for thanks to the advent of Social Media.
Luca's dad, Bryan - who most of you will know as our PA man and Supporters Trust board member, has arranged to sponsor the game, matchball and programme along with the rest of his family, whilst we will be delighted to welcome Henry Pearson, Caleb Meldrum and Abel Aldous as mascots for the afternoon. We will be holding a minute's applause in Luca's memory prior to kick-off and invite everyone who knew or remembers Luca to raise a glass in his honour.
Any season ticket holder at any of the 92 League or Premier League clubs will be eligible for reduced concessionary entry (6 pounds) upon production of their season ticket at the turnstile - this is a prime opportunity for Hendon regulars to bring a friend along to show them what Non-League football has to offer.
Finally, we will be holding the bucket collection in aid of the Non-League Day partner charity, Prostate Cancer UK - Please give as generously as you can.

Hendon produced a brave fightback in the Emirates FA Cup 3rd Qualifying round at Hayes & Yeading just missing out in a nine-goal thriller.
Having been 3-0 behind at the break through a penalty from Ogo Obi, a goal from Jacob Cook and a Chris Grace own goal, it looked as though the hosts would secure a comfortable passage into the final qualifying round.
Kameron English reduced the arrears before an Omar Rowe goal made it 4-1 to the hosts. Hendon grabbed a second through Sam Corcoran with 20 minutes remaining before Francis Amartey tied things up with a brace.
Hassan Jalloh sealed the hosts' progression late on with the winner in the 88th minute, again from the penalty spot, as the Greens bowed out of the FA Cup for this season.

Hendon fell to a second consecutive home league defeat against early pace-setters Poole Town this afternoon at Silver Jubilee Park.
The visitors opened the scoring in the first half when Oliver Dennett reacted fastest to net a rebound from a shot that came back off the woodwork and then second half goals from Marvin Brooks and Jez Bedford gave the Dolphins an unassailable lead.
