Dagenham & Redbridge have announced the signing of midfielder Josh Rees for the 2023-24 season.

The 29-year-old has agreed a two-year deal following the expiry of his contract at National League rivals Boreham Wood, where he had spent the past two seasons.

And Daggers boss Ben Strevens was delighted to make his first signing of the summer.

"We are delighted to bring Josh to the club, I've been a massive admirer of him for a number of years," he told the club website.

"We have needed to add more goals around the team and especially in the midfield. 

"We believe Josh will add goals like he has done previously with his qualities and the timings of his runs into the box.

"I think the fans will really like the energy and quality he shows in midfield with and without the ball.”

Rees has also played for Aldershot Town and Bromley, in two spells, and enjoyed his most successful season with the south London club in 2017-18 when he scored 20 goals in 55 appearances and helped them reach the FA Trophy final, when they lost on penalties.

He will officially become a Daggers player from July 1 subject to FA and National League approval.
