Boss Tommy Williams cannot wait to see new signings Peter Dean and Ty Smith in action and Kingstonian striker Richard Jolly should be just as keen.

Dean and Smith agreed deals at Kingsmeadow this week to add some creativity to a Ks midfield that lacked goals last term.

The pair will also add some experience to the squad with 29-year-old Dean having helped Wealdstone lift the Ryman Premier League title in 2014 and appeared in last season’s play-off final for Hendon.

Ex-Met Police star Smith – also 29 – has not played since featuring for the Blues last term, but has a reputation for scoring as well as making goals.

And Williams reckons the bullets they can provide for Jolly to fire home could be the difference between play-off contenders and promotion also-rans.

“Ty has got experience at Ryman Premier League level and is technically as good as anything in this division,” he said.

“He left Met Police during last season and has not really played since, but he is hungry to get back playing and he did not take too much persuading to come here.

“I think we lacked a bit of creativity and goals in midfield last season and he will bring both.

“With Ty and Peter [Dean] in there we have two very creative players, which is important because Richard Jolly’s movement needs creative players to find him.”

Dean and Smith’s arrival looks to have spelled the end of the road for Tommy Kavanagh, who Williams has not spoken to since the end of the season.

Midfielder Daniel Sweeney is still to put pen to paper on a new deal for next term, but has indicated strongly he will be with Ks next season.

“I will speak to Tommy, but as I haven’t done that yet I cannot really comment,” added the Kingstonian manager on Kavanagh.

“Daniel has signed engagement forms with us, but is still considering his future.”

One player who will not be with the club next term is midfielder Steve Laidler, who has switched to Evo Stick Southern League Division One Central Godalming Town after 63 appearances for the club.

“Steve wanted to take a step back from football,” said Williams.

“He has a young family and wanted to play a little bit closer to home and with some of his friends.

“He could not commit to all the travelling again and we have parted on good terms. There are no problems there.”

He added: “We have had to cut our cloth according to our budget this term, but I think the quality we have already brought in has strengthened us and we are in a better place than we were this time last year.

“We inherited a squad that we had to work with, but we are now able to put our stamp on things.

“It was the right time to make a few changes and we are looking forward to seeing how this group of players go.

“There are still one or two faces to come and we’re talking to another forward.”
