Hastings United have completed the signing of a player who has had spells at Leeds United, Queens Park Rangers and Locomotive Moscow.

Suleyman Bah, a left-sided player whose last club was Dulwich Hamlet, played for United’s under-21s on Monday and is expected to be in the first team squad at Merstham tomorrow (Saturday).

United manager John Maggs said: “He’s a pacey boy and his pedigree is very, very good. He’s looking to get back into league football, but he’s prepared to come and play for us at Hastings. He’s a very, very fit boy with plenty of energy.”

Maggs is also hoping to sign Charlie Slocum in time for tomorrow’s Ryman Football League Division One South fixture. Slocum played under Maggs at Crawley Down Gatwick and is currently at Tonbridge Angels.

“I’ve got an agreement with Tonbridge that he can sign for us on a dual registration,” Maggs added. “He’s mainly a right-back and he is decent. If his registration goes through, he will also be in the squad on Saturday.”
