DEFENDER Scott Doe, midfielders Anton Robinson and Marcus Browning, and striker Stuart Beavon have all signed new deals at Weymouth.

The news comes just two days after former Aldershot Town winger Ryan Williams was named the Terras' first summer signing and boss John Hollins is optimistic there is more good news to come.

He said: "The fact we have already agreed new deals with Scott, Anton, Marcus and Stuart, and signed Ryan is very pleasing and I am delighted with how things are shaping up.

"There are four of five more potential new signings in the pipeline and talks are still ongoing with the players that are already with us so watch this space. Hopefully we will be able to announce a few more things very soon."

Hollins has also revealed his reasons for bringing Williams in.

He added: "I wanted something positive down the right or left and you know with Ryan that a good delivery will always come in. He will also pop up with the odd goal and he is a player we have known for a while."

Browning is delighted that he has secured his future and has admitted he is enjoying learning from Hollins and his assistant Alan Lewer.

The former AFC Bournemouth man, who was linked with a move away from the club when Jason Tindall was sacked as manager in January, said: "I am pleased it has all been sorted out and I am now very much looking forward to the new campaign.

"The fact things are already happening in terms of people signing is important because it enables everyone to be fully focused throughout the summer.

"Last year it was difficult for Jason due to everything that was happening behind the scenes but now things are more settled and with John and Alan both having good knowledge of the league and the players that are available, things are looking good."

As for his own individual goals, Browning added: "The Achilles injury I sustained has not helped me at all but we have now got to the bottom of that and hopefully next season people will see me playing a few more games.

"I am certainly enjoying the coaching responsibilities I have. Not only do I take the warm-up before each game but I am also doing bits and pieces on the training field as well and putting over my experience to the rest of the lads.

"John and Alan both have a wealth of knowledge about the game and it is great having the opportunity to learn from them.

"It was sad to see Jason go when he did but everyone has to move on sometimes which is exactly what I have done. Hopefully now we can push on and make more of a challenge next season."
