Former Luton and Maidenhead striker Alex Wall on why Hawks move was perfect for him
The powerful frontman, who has penned a two-year deal at Westleigh Park, is excited to be part of helping the club push for a return to the National League next season.
Wall, 30, was at Luton Town when they won promotion to League Two in 2014 - now he wants to experience going up again after leaving Concord Rangers.

Wall said: ‘It’s an exciting time for the club and it’s a time in my career where I don’t want to look back and I only had one promotion and that’s it so I want to go for it again.
‘I’m going to give it all I’ve got and we’re all pulling in the same direction so it should be a good match.
‘The team the gaffer is building, we’ve got to be going for promotion, there’s no second best to that.

Wall's career was brought to a halt for around 18 months with a knee injury before he returned to the game with Concord in August 2018.
It was in two spells with the Beachboys across three years where he really flourished - netting more than 30 goals in just over 50 appearances.
And Wall says he's ready to continue doing what he does best at Westleigh Park - scoring goals.

‘Being a number nine it’s part of your job (bringing other players into games). I’ve got great players around me, I’m very aware of Tommy Wright and James Roberts - both of them - so it’s an exciting time.’
