Bath City confirmed their first two new signings of the summer today when goalkeeper Ryan Robinson and attacking midfielder Sido Jombarti put pen to paper for the 2009-10 campaign.

Cumbrian Robinson, 26, joins from Forest Green Rovers, where he made 51 Blue Square Premier appearances in two seasons following spells with Blackburn, Southend, Morecambe and Southport.

Jombarti, who turns 22 in August, hails from Portugal and played for Weymouth and Basingstoke last season, impressing for the latter against City at Twerton Park in March.

The new arrivals will join a squad which includes striker Stuart Douglas, who is the latest City player to agree to stay on at the club.

Manager Adie Britton said: "We had 10-12 goalkeepers interested in signing for us, including some very interesting names, and narrowed it down to two.

"Ryan has a great pedigree, has been a pro all his life and was Forest Green's first choice for most of last season. We're delighted to have him.

He added: "We've wanted to sign Sido ever since he played at our place and, although he can play across the middle he will almost certainly play as an attacking midfielder for us.

"He's a talent. He will have a clause in his contract that allows him to leave at the end of the season because he wants to play league football."

Tickets for the 'Meeting Eric' event, which will see Manchester United legend Eric Cantona visit Twerton Park on June 6 (3pm), are still on sale priced at £20.
