Waltham Forest have confirmed that manager Wale Ojelabi has now signed thirteen players since their FA Cup rout at Ryman North rivals Aveley.

The struggling Stags, still bottom after Saturday's 2-1 league defeat at Maldon & Tiptree, lost 7-0 in the Preliminary Round.

Ojelabi signings are led by winger Albert Adu Donyinah from Herford Town, defender Kazim from Broxbourne Borough, midfielder and free agent Dean Florence and defender Stephen Ikumelo who made 33 appearances for Redbridge last season.

Former Grays U21 Marcus Longworth, midfielder Conor Okus and the Tooting & Mitcham United trio of Christoph Duncan, Taylan Gul and Luke Smith have also arrived at Wadham Lodge in recent days.

Daniel Stewert from Alexandra Palace, Ozer Temur from White Hart Rapids, Joe Smallwood from Redbridge and Aslan's Kubilay Toklucu completed a major squad revamp by Ojelabi.
