Lewes hope to give a debut to latest signing Mark Watson when they visit Chesham United in the Bryco Cup tonight.
Striker Watson, 29, cost Bournemouth £100,000 when they signed him from West Ham in 1996 and he has a prolific goalscoring record in non-league football with Welling, Sutton United and most recently Conference side Woking.
Lewes manager Steven King said: "He scored more than 100 goals for Sutton with a record of one every two games.
"He is big, strong and powerful. He is something different to what we have got here. We have got good strikers at the club but they tend to get knocked off the ball. He offers us something different.
"When you can attract players like this, you know you are going in the right direction."
Lewes have not had to pay a fee for Watson, who was not under contract at Woking, and they are hoping his signing will be registered in time for tonight's game.
