Having taken over from the departing Gareth Owen, Harrison has been working hard to recruit players that fit his blueprint for success.

"My aim was to bring in young, fit and athletic players who have a good background," said Harrison. "The people who I have been able to bring in have all fitted the criteria I wanted and everyone is really looking forward to the season."

Harrison has been able to sign several experienced players including former Vauxhall Motors midfielder Ashley Williams and ex-Chester City and Connah's Quay midfielder Mark Cadwallader, who the former Middlesbrough man believes can play at a higher level.

"Ashley was at Vauxhall recently and before that Manchester City while Mark was playing in Chester's reserves 18 months ago," said Harrison.

"These two in particular can play higher up and it is good to see that they have matched my ambition and signed up for us."

As well as Williams and Cadwallader, Airbus have brought in striker Jon Slater from Caersws; Connah's Quay attacker Tom Rowlands; Leigh Raven, James Hussanney and left winger Neil Wynne from Brymbo; while Ryan Edwards, who was being chased by Rhyl, has signed up for another year.

Meanwhile, GAP Connah's Quay have added a further four new faces to their squad for the forthcoming season.

Joining the Deeside outfit is striker Christian Courtney, who has scored 18 goals from 49 league starts for Welshpool Town and Newtown.

Nomads have also added ex-Morecambe trainee Craig Davies, re-signed full-back Tom Baker, and are boosted by the return of Danny Forde who played a key part in the Nomads' Welsh Premier survival last season.
