Dagenham & Redbridge sign unattached quartet

Dagenham & Redbridge have signed defender Richard Rose, midfielders Luke Howell and Kevin Maher and striker Sam Williams on free transfers.

Rose, 28, was released by Hereford this summer after 193 games in five years.

Howell, 24, turned down a new deal with Lincoln, as did 34-year-old former Southend man Maher with Gillingham.

Williams, 24, was let go by Yeovil in May after scoring just six goals in 77 appearances during his two seasons at the League One club.
