Hanwell have completed a quintuple signing as Chris Moore adds reinforcements ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
Striker Alfie Pendlebury joins the club after impressing at both Holyport and Cheshunt, where he bagged six goals in 16 games in the Isthmian League, last season.
Moore said: "Alfie came to notice last season at Holyport and went on to have a successful spell at Cheshunt. Alfie is a number 9 with an eye for goal and I’m looking forward to working with him."
The Geordies have also strengthened in midfield with the addition of Nathanael Boayke, who has joined the club from Reading City. He has also featured for Hartley Wintney in his career, prior to moving to the Berkshire club.
Boayke's performances during the last campaign resulted in him being offered a trial with the club. He impressed during his trial period with the club and scored a fine goal at North Greenford United earlier in the pre-season campaign.
The gaffer added: "Nathanael caught my eye last season and was invited in for a trial. He a young energetic midfielder who has been fantastic in training and scored a great goal at North Greenford in a pre season friendly."
Right back Joe Wilson has been added to the 2024/25 squad and the 24-year-old is no stranger to west London area, having previously played for Hayes and Yeading and Staines Town.
Wilson started his career in EFL side Reading's academy before carving out his career in non-league. Clubs Wilson has played for include Oxford City, Bracknell, Banbury, Ilkeston and Gainsborough. He can also fill in at left back, if required to.
The manager has been a fan for a long time and he said: "I have tried to sign Joe a few times. Joe is a right back with plenty of experience for someone of his age. He is another player comfortable on the ball that will compliment our style of play"
Centre back Rudi Pache has joined the club from Banbury. The former Barnsley youngster has had a career that has seen him play in Norway with Esbjerg fB during his career.
The 22-year-old grew up in Slough before moving to Oakwell to join the Tykes' academy before spending a number of years in Norway plying his trade but it was his performances in the past few months at Banbury that caught Moore's eye.
The gaffer added: "I spotted Rudi playing in a game recently and as soon as he became available I jumped at the chance to get him he is a defender that is comfortable on the ball and has a great pedigree.
Forward Ezekiel Coker is the fifth addition to the Geordies' ranks today. The frontman has proven to be dangerous in the penalty area, scoring a number of goals during the pre-season campaign.
The 22-year-old Londoner was originally on Carlisle United's books before he moved to Spain with CD Don Alvaro. Coker, or 'Zeeks' as he is known, has now moved back to London and, following a recommendation, was snapped up by the Geordies.
Moore explained: “'Zeeks' came in on a recommendation and has had a really good pre season scoring some cracking goals. Zeeks has worked hard in training and I can’t wait to see him progress."
Hanwell Town are delighted to reveal the Club's new home shirt and goalkeeper kit for the 2024/25 season.
The Geordies are also delighted to be welcoming Oliver Connell & Son Ltd as the Club's main sponsors for the upcoming campaign.
Details on how to purchase the shirt will be coming soon.
Hanwell fell to a 3-1 defeat to their EFL Championship neighbours' academy side as manager Chris Moore put minutes into the legs of his squad.
A competitive first half saw the R's take the lead through Lorenzo Strachan just after the half hour mark before a Hanwell trialist equalised 10 minutes later.
The Geordies made a string of changes, and changed shape after the break, and Rangers started to take control.
They took the lead on 54 minutes as Hassan Hamid rifled a shot into the top corner from 18 yards and sealed it with eight minutes to go as their trialist rounded Hanwell's reserve keeper and tucked the ball home into an empty net.
Hanwell's final pre-season game is on Saturday when we entertain National League South side, Slough Town.
Congratulations to Josh and Mimii on winning Love Island 2024. We are delighted to
announce that Josh Oyinsan will be returning to Hanwell in the near future and we look forward to seeing him back in the black and white stripes.
A very competitive pre-season fixture saw plenty of familiar faces such as Wayne Carter, Gareth Chendlik, and Jack Hutchinson squaring off against their former club. Hanwell had the better share of the opportunities with a handful of efforts going marginally wide. However, it was Harefield who took the lead just after the hour mark when Charlie Malin received the ball and, from 25 yards out, found the bottom corner. With 10 minutes to go, Hanwell was awarded a penalty after a suspected handball in the Hares' box. The same trialist who scored against Rayners Lane during the week took the penalty, and despite the keeper going the right way, Hanwell came away with a hard-fought draw.
The Geordies are back at home for our penultimate pre-season game on Tuesday as we take on QPR XI.
Goals from Elliot Benyon and a trialist gave Hanwell a strong win against Step 4 side, Rayners Lane.
The Geordies are back in action on Saturday at Harefield United.
The Southern League have released the fixtures for the upcoming season. Hanwell will begin the campaign with a trip to newly promoted Wimborne Town on 10 August before hosting Bracknell Town on 13 August.
The full fixture list can be viewed below:
A Ruben Carvalho goal from the last kick of the game gave National League Premier side Maidenhead United victory at Hanwell in the Geordies' latest pre-season friendly.
Both sides used the fixture to tune up ahead of the big kick-off and, while the result was disappointing for Chris Moore's side, the performance showed a lot of promising signs.
Hanwell created a number of good chances and had several strong spells on the ball against a side that has been competing well at Step One of the non league pyramid.
Defensively, Hanwell looked strong and reigning player-of the season Sam Beasant picked up where he left off as the match seemed headed to end in stalemate.
But a last minute lapse allowed Carvalho to fire home the winner to given Maidenhead the spoils.
