Dean Howell: Joined The Shots
Manager Gary Waddock has confirmed that Dean Howell is his first signing of the close season agreeing a two year deal to tempt him away from Rushden and Diamonds.

27 year old Dean is a left sided defender or midfielder with plenty of pace. He featured against Shots twice last month in the Setanta Shield final and on the last day of the Blue Square Premier campaign at Nene Park. He made 49 appearances for Diamonds last season.

He arrives at the club with extensive experience of over 200 senior matches including spells at Crewe Alexandra, Colchester United, Morecambe, Halifax Town and Weymouth.

The left sided player can fill either the midfield role or back in defence and is an deal replacement following the departure of Rob Gier and Ryan Williams who were both released earlier this month.
