Hammond has had spells with Fulham, Leicester and Cheltenham

Woking striker Elvis Hammond has signed a new one-year contract at Kingfield.

The 30-year-old scored 12 goals in 34 appearances as the Cards lost in the Blue Square Bet South play-off semi-finals this season.

Woking manager Garry Hill told BBC Surrey: "Elvis is an experienced player and gives us a great deal with his work rate and the goals he scores.

"He's a hardworking player and a good professional role model to the younger players at the club."

He added: "Elvis knows where we would like to take the club, and I think the way we play is a way that benefits his game."

With seven players already signed for next season, Hill says that he will not hurry into bolstering his squad.

"We have talked to certain players but we haven't got to rush into things or panic in any way," he continued.

"At the end of July players come along from League or Conference clubs where things haven't worked out for them.

"It's about picking those opportunities and the picking right players to come to us. I'm happy where we are going and it's early days at the moment."
