ALEX Browne has vowed to remain patient in his search for new recruits.

The Wimborne Town boss is looking to bolster his squad during the close-season after key wide men Pete Smith and Scott Arnold both headed through the Cuthbury exit door.

But Browne, the former Weymouth and Dorchester Town defender, is not planning to rush into any signings.

He told the Echo: “I’m speaking to a couple of people but there is no immediate rush.

“Players want to keep their options open but as time goes on I’ll be in a stronger position.

“We’ve got one or two different things in the pipeline.”

Browne added: “We’ve kept the vast majority of the players and their attitude has been top drawer. We’ll go into next season with spirit.”
