Pontypridd Town have made further additions to their squad by signing Danny Williams, Luke Cummings, and Kieran Lewis.
The Dragons have now made six additions as they prepare for their first season in the Cymru Premier, after taking up a promotion spot.
Lewis and Williams join from league rivals Haverfordwest County, meanwhile, Cummings has made the move from Merthyr Town.
Ashley Morris, Clayton Green, and Joe Evans joined the club last week and now the Rhondda club have equipped themselves with even more top-flight experience.
Cummings spent the second half of the season on loan at Southern League Premier outfit Merthyr, who were relegated from English football’s seventh tier.
The 30-year-old has over 200 top-flight appearances, representing Carmarthen Town for seven seasons before three years at Barry Town.
“Delighted to be joining Pontypridd in these exciting times,” said Cummings when he was unveiled as one of the newest additions.
“The Chairman, Savs & Stoksey have huge ambitions and it was something I couldn’t turn down. I hope my experience can help the team have a successful first season in the Cymru Premier.
Joining Cummings at the USW Sport Park is Danny Williams, who played at Pontardawe briefly under Stokes, as well as a University player under the director of football Steve Savage.
The 22-year-old left the Bridge Meadow after a season that brought him five goals and three assists in 25 appearances. In total, he found the back of the net on 14 occasions and set up five goals in his 51 games in the two seasons of Cymru Premier football.
Williams said: “Buzzing to be working with Stokesy and Savs again.
“The ambition and vision of the club is huge for me – really exciting times ahead. I can’t wait to get started and hopefully hit the ground running.”
Announced as their sixth signing, former Martyrs midfielder Kieran Lewis topped off the signings by following Williams from the same club.
The 28-year-old midfielder in his two years at Haverfordwest made three appearances shy of 50 matches and got six goals and four assists.
There was also time spent at Carmarthen Town and Port Talbot Town, accumulating more than 120 games for both clubs.
“I’m delighted to be joining Pontypridd and looking forward to being part of the exciting vision of the Club,” he said after making his move.
Vaughn Fowler, James Bloom, Taylor Marsh, Corey Jenkins, Morgan Davies, Sam Johnson and Dave Vincent meanwhile have signalled their commitment to the club.
