Wormull said, “I know the players that I want to retain from last year, and after speaking to Kevin, I am confident we can do that now. We can also finalise conversations with players who I want to add to the squad in crucial positions. I want to us to do our business early, then the coaching staff and I can work with the squad in pre-season and really hit the ground running when the league starts in early August.”

“I was pleased to learn that players are already expressing a real willingness to put us back to a level which our supporters deserve”

Newell added, “I welcome Simon’s enthusiasm and commitment to building a team that can challenge for the Bostik League South East Division title and I was pleased to learn that players are already expressing a real willingness to put us back to a level which our supporters deserve – and which we feel we are capable of achieving.”
