To help cover the loss of free-scoring Ogedi-Uzokwe, Horlock has brought back young striker Eoin McKeown for a second loan spell from Colchester having recently broken into the first-team reckoning.
He is joined in the Jammers ranks by two players who have arrived from Finnish side Atlantis – former Athletic and defensive midfielder Clyde Ondo-Ikpo and ex-Hayes & Yeading attacker Manny Katundu.
Horlock has also brought in a new goalkeeper, former , and Thurrock stopper Tim Brown, and another defensive midfielder in much-travelled Olu Quadri, from South East side .
And completing the sextuple of arrivals is 6ft 5in ball-player Derek Ubah, who joins from second-tier Luxemburg side CS Grevenmacher.
