David Hockaday, the new manager of Blue Square Premier club Forest Green Rovers, has brought in three new players ahead of his first game in charge at home to Ebbsfleet United on Saturday.
Hockaday has brought in defender Jeffrey Imudia, who he worked with during his time at Southampton, former Crystal Palace goalkeeper David Wilkinson and young midfielder Lewwis Spence on loan from Wycombe Wanderers.
Imudia, who can play anywhere across the back line, joined Arsenal as a 13-year-old before moving to the Saints Academy following a spell with Everton.
Since being released by Southampton he has trialled with both AFC Bournemouth and Swindon Town.
Croydon-born Wilkinson failed to make Palace's first-team, but was an ever-present in the under-18 side that reached the quarter finals of the FA Youth Cup a couple of years ago.
He has appeared on the bench as first-team back-up keeper and has had experience in non-League football, having been out on loan at Eastleigh and Welling United during the past two seasons.
Since leaving Selhurst Park in the summer he has been on trial with Rovers` league rivals Luton Town amongst others.
Spence (pictured) has joined Forest Green on a one-month loan.
The 21-year-old former Crystal Palace man missed the majority of pre-season training with an injury to his foot, but returned to action for the Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat to Northampton Town.
