Terry Brown has signed another player from Hampton & Richmond Borough.  25 year old Canadian born forward Elliott Godfrey spent four years at H&R after joining them from his first English club Watford, he has also scored against the Dons.  He had progressed through the Youth and Reserves scoring plenty of goals for them.

Last season he scored 22 goals for the Beavers.

Elliott made one substitute appearance for the Watford first team and that was just for four minutes and then released by the club a week later. 

He has played for the Canada Under 21s.

Welcome to the club Elliott.

According to the nonleaguedaily.com AFC Wimbledon have signed midfielder Mark Gradosielski from Cheshunt FC.

Gradosielski was previously at Leyton early last season when the Dons drew 2-2 with them at their place.  He has also been at Wingate & Finchley.

Supporters may remember Mark from elsewhere, he was a competitor in the Football Icon TV series that was looking for a player to sign for Chelsea, Mark was in the final three of that competition.

Mark also played a couple of games for the AFC Wimbledon Reserves last season.

At last nights Ryman League Awards Dinner AFC Wimbledon were presented with two awards, the first being the Programme of the Year and the second being the Fair Play award.

Last season the Dons first team had 13 players booked in the league and received a total of 29 yellow cards (7 for Rob Quinn) and three red cards.

An announcement has been made on the OS about the future of the Dons Draw.  The main announcement is that a 4th prize of £50 has been added which may be increased over time.

In a long drawn out saga that took longer than the will he, wont he saga with Christiano Ronaldo at Manchester United Robin Shroot has finally made his mind up to stop stringing the club along and decided to leave the club.  He finally rang Terry Brown last night and told the Manager of his decision to depart Kingsmeadow.

In the announcement on the OS it says that Shroot hasn't signed for another club but I have no doubt he will soon and I wouldn't be at all suprised if that club was in North London.  Now we wait and see who he signs for and what sort of fee we get for him under the Bosman rules as he is under 23 years of age.
