FORMER Southend United loanee Deon Woodman has joined Wealdstone.

Woodman made five appearances while with the Shrimpers from QPR towards the end of last season.

But he has now signed for Wealdstone, who he also had a loan spell with last term.

Stones Chairman Rory Fitzgerald told the club's website: "We're delighted to get this deal done.

"Deon is a player of huge potential and his character means he'll fit really well into the squad.

"He had a few offers so we are delighted he chose us.

"He's a really good addition."
