Asa Hall
Midfielder Asa ended 6 seasons on the English Riviera with Torquay United to come to the Ian Moorcroft Stadium, where he will combine playing with coaching duties. He has a wealth of experience from which to draw for both roles, having amassed more than 600 competitive games in a 19-year career that began at Premier League Birmingham City and has included seven EFL clubs, as well as three in the National League.
Asa, now 37, has enjoyed two successful Wembley appearances during that time, winning the 2009 Johnstone’s Paint Trophy in an otherwise miserable season for Luton Town, and helping York City to the 2017 FA Trophy.

Marcus Day
Marcus, a left-sided player, moved to Frome from Taunton Town, having joined Rob Dray's Peacocks on the eve of the 2023-24 campaign after trialling successfully during pre-season. The previous season, he finished with a Southern League Division One South winners' medal with Totton.
He started out at Bristol City from the age of 14 and played for the Under-18 and Under-23 sides while also spending several months on loan at Paulton Rovers, where he enjoyed a spell of scoring nine goals from 11 games.
After being released by City in the summer of 2020, he signed for Southern League Bristol Manor Farm until the season ended because of COVID-19. He then joined Cymru Premier side Barry Town United for the 2021-22 campaign before returning to Manor Farm in the summer of 2022.
