King's Lynn Town have clinched the double signing of former Linnets Jack Defty and Brady Stone.
Defty has agreed to return to his hometown club after a season with Blue Square North play-off chasing Corby.
The powerful striker scored 90 goals in 308 appearances during his first spell at The Walks and will spearhead the new club's bid for promotion from the United Counties League.
Highly-rated defender Stone has left Ely City after brief stints at both Cambridge United and Cambridge City.
Stone was signed by director of football Kevin Boon back in 2004 but only made seven appearances before being released by ex-Lynn boss Tommy Taylor.
Club officials revealed both have joined on non contract terms at the latest fans' forum. Long-serving club stalwart Keith Rudd has also agreed to take on an ambassadorial role at The Walks.
The club's hierarchy plan to announce the new reserve manager later this week to take charge of their second string which has applied to join the Anglian Combination for 2010/11. Ex-Wisbech coach Ross McNeil has been linked to the post after working in tandem with joint-manager and former Fenmen boss Gary Setchell at the Ridgeons Premier Division club last season.
