STEVE Claridge has captured his first signings as Salisbury manager, bringing in Sam Roberts and Lamar Powell.

Attacking midfielder Roberts, a product of the Whites youth academy, has returned to Old Sarum from Gosport Borough who loaned him out to Lymington Town last term.

Powell, 21, is an ex-Bristol Rovers and Frome striker who spent 2014/15 at Taunton Town, helping the Peacocks to the Southern One South & West play-offs.

“These are two good acquisitions,” said Claridge, who is building a side from scratch in preparation for the Sydenhams Premier Division.

Meanwhile ex-Salisbury City defender Brian Dutton is staying at Havant & Waterlooville for another season.
