A quartet for Vale

Rayners Lane have announced. four new arrivals. 

Kyen Nicholas returns to the club after ending last season with Pitching In Isthmian South Central rivals Westfield. He made ten appearances, scoring twice, as he helped Field to the Play Off Final- after moving from Hartley Wintney, where he made fourteen appearances following two at the end of the 24-25 campaign. 

He moved to Hartley from Raynes Park Vale in March 2025, after scoring six times in sixteen games.  

Kyen scored five goals in nine appearances for Hanworth Villa early in 24-25 season,  following an exceptional 23-24 which saw him score twenty three goals in forty one appearances. There was nine in twenty appearances in the second half of the 22-23 campaign, too, when the Villains reached the Play Off Final. 

He was previously with Hartley Wintney during their Pitching In Southern League days, and also played for Hendon in the same league. Walton Casuals, Dulwich Hamlet, Maldon & Tiptree and Guildford City are amongst his other previous clubs. 

Defender Jack Mackin came in from MK Dons, where he has played both Under 18 and Under 21 football. Apparently he is a left sided centre back, and we look forward to finding out more about him.

Tobi Ogundega comes in from Met Police, where he made thirty three appearances last season- and scored three goals. He spent time with Southall during 24-25, playing eighteen times and scoring once. 

Tobi previously played youth football with MK Dons and Sutton United, and whilst with the latter came our way on loan with Merstham, Bognor Regis Town and Kingstonian, as well as having a loan spell at Salisbury in Pitching In Southern South Premier.

Mo Kamara started last season with Vale, playing nineteen times. 

Mo was with Rayners Lane at the end of the 24-25 season, and he made seventeen appearances and won the Middlesex Challenge Cup. He was also back there again last season, playing five times. 

He originally joined Lane from Potters Bar Town. 

He joined the Scholars from Herne Bay, where he played twenty times during the 24-25 season, scoring once, which followed twenty three appearances- and one goal- during 23-24.. He also spent some time with Faversham Town, and split those two Herne Bay spells by playing fourteen times for Margate at the end of the 23-24 season.  

Mo ended the 21-22 season with Ashford United, playing eight times, and indeed started their Play Off Final defeat against... Herne Bay. He also spent a previous spell at Margate, for whom he played eight times in the early part of 21-22. He spent the middle part of the same season with Whitehawk, playing twenty two times. 

Mo has had three spells with the Nuts and Bolts, and four with Bay, two with Margate, and two with the Scholars!
