Southern League Premier Divisjon South Bracknell Town have confirmed the re-signing of Great Evans from Uxbridge.

As Dave Wright reports for the Bracknell News: “The 25-year-old Londoner becomes the latest in a number of quality signings made in the last two weeks by new manager Adam Hopkins.

“Another is 23-year-old Lynford Sackey, who can play in a number of positions on the right flank.”

Evans scored seven times for Bracknell in 16 games in 2024 before going on to play for Farnham Town. He had joined the club in March 2023 from Hungerford Town.

Sackey meanwhile is a former Reading FC youngster who was with Hopkins at Yateley United where he scored 22 goals last season.

Speaking to Wright, Hopkins said: “His versatility across the front line gives us excellent options, and his pace, quality and attitude fit perfectly with the culture we’re building at the club. I’m looking forward to working with him, and I’m sure he’ll be a fantastic addition both on and off the pitch.”

The Robins have added further depth including midfielder Dara Dada who has previous experience with the club, goalkeeper Myles Bowman who will double as goalkeeping coach, midfielder Josh Smith as well as 16 cap Afghanistan international attacker Taufee Skandari.
