The Hornets followed up the signing of Wilson by snapping up versatile winger Tom Richards from Kingstonian earlier today (Thursday).

Speaking on Wilson, Di Paola said: “He played a number of friendlies for us in December, and we played a trial game about six weeks ago and he was involved so he’s been around the group for quite a time really, since October.

“It’s good that he’s finally been announced and he can play in a number of positions, which is good for us as well.

“He’s a good athlete, mobile, he’s got good energy and I think the boys like him which is always good.”
