“At the back end of last season we highlighted what we would try to do rather than scattergunning.
“We wanted to individualise where we thought we needed to strengthen for next season and I'm delighted that three players that we’ve targeted we’ve managed to get.”
On Dan Bramall, the Worksop boss said: “Dan is one I've tried to sign quite a few times.

“We kept an eye on him last year when he went to Australia and played full time, knowing that some time he’d want to come back.
“I just made sure when he got back off a plane I was the first one there trying to drag him to a football club.
“He brings unbelievable pace and quality and he’ll probably become the quickest player in our team.
"We know his strengths and he can play multiple positions.”

“We felt in the back line this year we needed to consolidate.
"We made too many changes last year and we needed to bring another leader in there.
“We needed another solid person with experience, he’s got that.

“As a defender, we are lucky to have him because in my opinion he should still be playing leagues above.”
On final signing of the summer, experienced goalscorer Aaron Martin, Parry said: “Aaron’s a player we’ve kept an eye on for quite a while.
“He’s strong, big, powerful, quick and a proper striker that can go both ways.

“I think he’s really going to become a fans’ favourite and as a person I think he’ll fit the changing room really well because he’s an ultimate professional.”
