We are delighted to announce the signing of hugely experienced Scottish defender Ruaridh Donaldson from Chelmsford City.

Ruaridh, 31,  joined the Clarets a year ago and before that played for Hampton & Richmond Borough.

Back home, he has represented Stenhousemuir in Scotland, obtaining promotion from Scottish League 2.

Naturally left-footed, he has played at Step 2 for several seasons and can also fit seamlessly into midfield. His versatility promises to be a huge asset next season.

Welcome Ruaridh!

There will once again be healthy competition for the No. 1 shirt next season with Joe Wright and Rhys Forster both retained for 2025-6.

We are delighted Joe and Rhys have agreed to stay and can also announce that Joe Payne, who spent part of last season at Potters Bar on a dual registration, is also remaining with Town.

Onwards and upwards

Planning for the new league campaign is shaping up nicely with another four players – two of them regular members of the first-team squad – now added to those retained

Xavier Benjamin, an unsung hero at the heart of the back three last season alongside Adam Thompson and Henry Hawkins, is staying on, meaning all three defenders have now committed their immediate futures to the club.

Ollie Knight, who impressed on his return from a loan spell with Chertsey, has also been retained for 2025-6 as have goalkeeper Adi Connolly and promising young defender Jay Lambert

Watch this space for further retentions and new signings.

We are thrilled to announce that Sam Youngs, club captain Mickey Parcell and Bayley Brown have all committed themselves to the club for next season.

All three played a huge part in our National League South survival and have been retained for the 2025-6 campaign.

Sam and Mickey, Town stalwarts through and through, won the supporters’ and players’ player of the season respectively while Sam also won the Golden Boot award for his 17 goals.

Their experience and knowhow will once again prove invaluable while Bayley was one of the shining lights of last season with his performances in midfield.

Their decision to stay with Town brings to six the number of confirmed retained players along with the previously announced Adam Thompson, Henry Hawkins and Billy Leonard.

“Management player of the year Billy Leonard (pictured with Gavin) had a really solid first season at step two and we are  keen to see Billy continue progressing. Retained signings are just as important as new ones which of course will also be announced in due course.”
