We are pleased to confirm another four returning players for next season’s squad, as we prepare for our first season at Step 2.

Full-backs Joe Payne and Mickey Parcell, plus midfielders Ollie Knight and Lewis Taaffe, have all agreed terms to stay with the Towners ahead of our 2024-25 National League South campaign.

All four played key roles in helping us to promotion last season.

Fans’ favourite Mickey re-joined last summer, surpassing 200 Town appearances in September and, along with fellow full-back Joe Payne, forming part of a backline which kept 15 clean sheets over the course of the season. Both featured 48 times last season.

Wide midfielder Ollie was one of Gavin’s first signings and proved why last season, registering 14 assists and chipping in with 6 goals, including a brace against Chatham in our final league game.

Having started last term with a long-term foot injury, versatile midfielder Lewis enjoyed a remarkable resurgence – earning six man-of-the-match awards in 30 appearances, and scoring our third goal in the play-off final at Chatham.

Welcome back, lads!
