Wealdstone’s Jerome Okimo is following Tom Pett to Stevenage this week.
Pett joined the League Two side in June and is set for a reunion with his old Stones pal Okimo after the classy full-back finalised a move to Boro this morning.

Okimo arrived at Wealdstone from Chalfont St Peter in the summer of 2013, proving a vital cog in Gordon Bartlett’s Ryman Premier title-winning side.
Bartlett said: "We are all delighted for Jerome who thoroughly deserves to be a pro.
"At 26, he probably felt his chance had gone but his attitude,pace,strength and all round qualities were a massive part of our title winning side last season and it was bound to get noticed.
"Losing two players to the professional ranks is a big blow to the squad and maybe we have have been victims of our own success."
