Winger Remiero Moulton has rejoined Worthing on a month-long loan from Championship side Watford.
The 20-year-old spent the second half of last season with the Reds, helping them to the National League South title.
They kick off their first season in the National League today away to Carlisle United.
"Once we were made aware that bringing Remiero back was a possibility, we felt it was a no-brainer to add a player of his quality back to our ranks," Worthing manager Adam Hinshelwood told the club website, external.
Worthing have also secured forward Jose Marquez on a season-long loan from fellow National League club Forest Green Rovers.

Former Hornets defender Mariappa played for the club during two spells between 2005 to 2012, and again in 2016 to 2020, making 340 appearances in total.
Mariappa briefly stepped in as part of the interim first-team coaching staff in February following Javi Gracia's resignation.
He leaves his position as assistant coach of the club's under-21's which he had held since last August.
Mariappa replaces the departing Gosling, another former Watford player, who has left his role as assistant after it was announced only in June he was staying at the club to assist new head coach Alessio Dionisi.

"Mattie is important for this team, I am very happy for Mattie because his mentality is very good - every day on the pitch, Mattie works very strongly," Dionisi told BBC Three Counties Radio.
"He speaks with the team-mates. Mattie is a good captain for this team."

He said: "At the start [of pre-season], Louza wanted to see [look] for another opportunity.
"In this moment, Imran is inside the team and he's a good player. He arrived [at pre-season] late and now I hope he can recuperate because he will be important for us".
