STALYBRIDGE Celtic have made a further three new signings as manager Chris Willcock continues to mould his squad.
In a bid to provide more of a cutting edge, Willcock has brought Theo Bailey-Jones back to Bower Fold while also capturing Domaine Rouse.
And vastly experienced Luke Hinsley, who can play central midfield or a centre half, has also been brought in.
Willcock had never previously worked with Bailey-Jones who had an earlier spell at the club when Simon Haworth was manager.
Bailey-Jones opened his goalscoring account for Celtic second time around in the home defeat to Nantwich Town.
“I knew a lot about Theo who had played here before. He scored plenty of goals for Stafford Rangers last season so is proven at our level,” explained Willcock.
Rouse was previously under Willcock’s wing at Ramsbottom United.
He was a professional at Bury and has also played for Droylsden.
“The great thing about Domaine is that he is versatile and can play anywhere across the front three,” said Willcock.
Hinsley helps provide Willcock with further experience he believes he needs in Celtic’s squad.
Celtic assistant manager Lincoln Adams and Hinsley for team-mates at FC Halifax Town. He has also played for Shaw Lane Aquaforce, Worksop Town, Stocksbridge Park Steels and most recently Belper Town.
“Luke is vastly experienced having played in the National League and, when he became available, he is a player who fitted what we were looking for,” Willcock continued.
Celtic have also signed Ben Richardson, the former Mossley favourite, in a player-coach capacity.
Willcock explained Richardson, who plays primarily at right back, was looking for a coaching role.
“Ben will be signed as cover as and when he is needed, but he is another player who provides a lot of versatility,” he said.
Richardson has not played this season and admitted he needs to so some serious training to get back up to speed.
Left-back Ben Woods has been released by Celtic and rejoined 1874 Northwich.
