Bristol Rovers duo Harry Warick and Ollie Hulbert have joined Cardiff Metropolitan ahead of the new season.
Both Hulbert and Warwick signed new contracts with the Gas earlier this summer and move to Cyncoed Campus on a temporary basis.
They join CJ Craven, Jac Davies and Kieron Proctor, who were announced earlier this week.
Hulbert and Warwick are both forwards and will now hope to develop their careers in the Cymru Premier.

Warwick, 20, scored 18 goals and had eight assists in the 2018/19 season for Rovers’ academy.
He has first-team experience after loan spells with Dorchester Town, Gloucester City, Gosport Borough and Truro City.
Warwick is well sought of by Rovers bosses, viewing him as a player for the future.
Lee Mansell, who manages their U23s squad, said in June, “Harry has pace to burn and a real eye for goal,” when he signed a new deal.
First-team manager Ben Garner is also an admirer and expressed his delight when the forward committed his long-term future to Rovers.
“We are pleased that Harry has agreed a new deal.
“The loan experiences have given him a valuable grounding in first-team football and with hard work he now has the opportunity to progress his career to the next level.”

Highly-regarded Hulbert is the other forward joining the Archers for the 2020/21 season.
Hulbert, like Warwick, penned a professional deal in June.
The centre-forward has been at the Memorial Ground for over ten years.
The 18-year-old was captain of Rovers’ U18s side last season and scored six goals and earned five assists in 14 appearances.
After signing his first senior contract, academy manager Chris Hargreaves said: “He is one of many academy players who see a pathway towards the first team and who want to be part of the future of the club.”
Both players are eligible to make their debuts tomorrow when the Archers begin the domestic season at Park Avenue against Aberystwyth Town.
