With Charlie Wise already secured from Premier Division Central side Bromsgrove Sporting, Ford has now added youngster Michael O’Regan and the more experienced Ben Whitehead to his squad.

O’ Regan (pictured) is a defender, who made 8 appearances for Stratford Town in the Southern Premier Division Central last season.

O’Regan, who is a product of Stratford’s academy, has also appeared for FC Stratford and Bishops Cleeve.

Ford told his club’s website: “We need hungry footballers at the club, and he has not played enough senior football. We are going to give him the opportunity. I like him as an adult and as a football player.”

Whitehead, 28, is a striker who signed for Cirencester Town in January 2022 from Southern Premier Division South outfit Weston-super-Mare.

He had made the opposite journey in June 2019 after he won the `golden boot` scoring 39 goals in 38 games.

He originally joined Cirencester in the summer of 2017 from Didcot Town having previously been with Swindon Supermarine, Swindon Town and Chippenham Town.

He ended his first season as the joint winner of the `golden boot` and swept the board at the club`s end of season awards, and despite his second season being brought to a halt after he sustained a serious injury, he still managed to take his Ciren tally to an incredible 86 goals in 87 games!

Ford added: “I know Ben very well locally and guaranteed goals. He is a good lad and honest, a good signing to get across the line. It is great to have him at Evesham”.
