The 23-year-old moves to the Seasiders from new league rivals Bath City, although he ended last season on loan with Yate Town.
He had signed for Bath in June 2022 from Frome Town having joined Frome from Bristol Manor Farm in October 2018.
The attacking midfielder signed for Manor Farm after leaving Oxford United at the end of the previous campaign.
Manager Scott Bartlett told https://www.westonsmareafc.co.uk: “Rex is well known to me, I tried to sign him for Forest Green as a 16-year-old scholar but missed out to Oxford United.
“He did brilliantly at Frome, we tried again during that period but they wanted a fee and with the uncertainty of Covid, we decided against it at that time.
“We had explored bringing him in on loan last season but we felt a permanent signing was a more sensible option, taking out the risk of being recalled during the important run-in which might have unbalanced the squad at a crucial time.
“To be honest, I’ve not made it easy for Rex. There were no guarantees but he settled in well, he’s shown a real willingness to earn a deal and we are delighted to have him.
“He is hungry to do well, can play anywhere in the front line or midfield so is a good addition for us”.
