Sutton United have signed defender Bobby Amartey and wing-back Ben Brookes on short-term loan deals.

Amartey joins from Leicester City until the end of November.

The 20-year-old academy player joined the Foxes at under-13 level and made his debut for both the U18s and U21s when he was 16.

The Ghana youth international played three matches for Leicester's U21s in the Football League Trophy in 2023-2024, earning a first professional contract.

Brookes signs from York City until mid-December after being left unregistered from Scott Lindsey's squad for the current League Two campaign.

The 25-year-old moved to York from Maidstone in 2025 and played 35 league games last season.

Sutton United have made a solid start to their latest National League campaign, winning four of their opening six matches to sit fifth in the table with 12 points.

This week they also added 20-year-old former Brighton & Hove Albion academy midfielder Joe Knight on a three-month loan deal from League One club Stevenage.

Sutton United have signed midfielder Joe Knight on a three-month loan deal from League One club Stevenage.

The 20-year-old joined Boro in January from Brighton & Hove Albion, but did not make his debut until last month's Carabao Cup defeat by Reading.

"A big, tall and athletic midfielder who has real quality on the ball, Joe also has a real edge," Sutton boss Chris Agutter told the club's website.

"He's a proper competitor which will fit perfectly into our group."

Sims played 67 National League games for Sutton over the past two seasons.

He has signed a one-year deal with the Essex club, with the club retaining an option for a second season.

Sutton United have signed midfielder Omar Mussa following his departure from fellow National League club Wealdstone.

The 25-year-old Burundi international made 34 appearances for the Stones last season and has also played for Torquay United, Dagenham & Redbridge, Weymouth, Dover Athletic and Walsall.

"As soon as I spoke with the management and heard about the plans and ambitions here, it felt like the right move for me," Mussa told the club website.

Sutton head coach, Chris Agutter, said: "This is the third time I've tried to sign Omar and I'm very happy that it's third time lucky."

Sutton United have signed forward Sam Folarin on a permanent deal following his departure from fellow National League side Hartlepool United.

The 25-year-old made 18 appearances for Pools last season, either side of a loan spell at National South side Chelmsford, where he scored twice.

Folarin told the club website, external: "I've been speaking to the Gaffer for quite some time now and it's good to finally get things moving.

"The project he was telling me about, trying to get back into the EFL and things like that, was really exciting to pursue and move forward with."

Folarin's signing follows the arrivals of Temi Babalola and Charlie Carter as head coach Chris Agutter looks to build a promotion-chasing squad.

"I'm so excited with the addition of Sam to the football Club, he has the potential to be one of the most effective and exciting attacking players in the National League," Agutter said.

"Any coach worth their salt will be able to help this young man be an electric centre-forward and winger option – he is direct, technically tidy, and outrageously fast – I mean lightning fast."
