The 23-year-old attacker joined the Blues from Bostik Premier Division side Hornchurch in February, where he made 16 appearances, scoring three times.

He went on to make 12 appearances for Justin Gardner's side and found the net seven times to help pick up some crucial wins in the later stages of the season as they finished 12th in the Bostik North.

The former West Ham United Academy player has previously played for the likes of Dulwich Hamlet, Concord Rangers and Leatherhead.

Barking managed to keep hold of the attacker despite interest from a number of National League South and Bostik Premier Division clubs.

Boakye-Yiadom did struggle somewhat with injuries early last season and will be hoping for a more settled campaign this time round.

The attacker joins striker Jay Knight and winger Junior Dadson in joining the Blues ahead of the new season.
