League: National League
The Vanarama National League. The top of the non-league pyramid and gateway to the Football League.
Ruel Sotiriou
The highly-regarded Cypriot under-21 international, who will wear the number 24 shirt, arrived at Crabble on loan from League Two side Leyton Orient in November.
The 19-year-old made his debut for the O’s in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round tie at Dagenham & Redbridge in October 2017 before signing a two-year deal with the club in May 2018.
During his time with the O’s Sotiriou, who made three appearances for his club in the National League, has had loan spells with Bishop’s Stortford, Chelmsford and Hampton & Richmond Borough.
Omar Mussa
The former Belgium under-19 international will wear the number 23 shirt and goes straight into the squad for Tuesday’s National League clash against Eastleigh at Crabble.
The 20-year-old has already played in England, spending six months with League One Walsall in 2019, making his league debut against Scunthorpe United a couple of weeks after joining from Belgian First Division A side KV Mechelen in the January transfer window.
He was signed by now Wrexham manager Dean Keates when he was in charge of the Saddlers.
Omar, who played one pre-season game for Andy Hessenthaler’s team before returning home, came up through the ranks at Mechelen and has been capped at under-16 to under 19 levels for his country.
