KEVIN Horlock has made his first two signings as Maldon and Tiptree's new manager.
The newly-appointed Jammers boss has drafted in young striker Michael Salako and full-back MJ Kedman.
Salako has just returned to the Essex area, having completed a Business Law Degree at University.
The 21-year-old has previously played for the likes of Tooting and Mitcham United, Corinthian Casuals and Bowers and Pitsea.
Meanwhile, left-back Kedman has also committed himself to Park Drive.
The 20-year-old, who has signed from Sheffield United, is a left-back and has been signed to fill the gap vacated by Ben Wyatt, who has joined Colchester United.
Kedman has also appeared for West Ham United and Chelsea.
Both signings are subject to paperwork which cannot be confirmed with the Football Association until July 1.
