Left-back Liam Schofield has signed for Hemsworth
Adam Hayton, Liam Schofield and Nathan Perks have impressed Wayne Benn enough to be given deals at Hemsworth Miners Welfare.
The trio have been on trial at Hemsworth since the beginning of the summer, along with several others. Midfielder Hayton leaves Glasshoughton Welfare to join Hemsworth, while left-back Schofield departs from AFC Emley.
Striker Perks had an injury-hit year last season, but he did manage to make a few appearances for Division One champions Hall Road Rangers.
Benn told Non League Yorkshire: “Adam Hayton, Liam Schofield and Nathan Perks will be joining the squad for the forthcoming season.
“We’ve decided against taking a couple of trialists, but I have to say that the attitudes of all of the trialists including the ones we haven’t taken on have been first class.
“The three lads we are keeping have shown a great desire to join us which is very pleasing for me and my coaching staff.

“We welcome all three into the squad, but they realise the quality we have and the challenge they face to force their way into the team.
“The great thing for me is that Adam, Liam and Nathan are massively up for the challenge.
“In terms of our squad we are almost there. There may be one or two more additions if we can find the quality we are looking for, but we are prepared to patient and wait for the right players if needs be.
“We were looking for four or five players at the start of the summer, but we have had to adjust that after Nick Guest and Brice Tiani decided to move on. I’m comfortable with where we are and already the squad is deeper than last season.”
