Kingy provides supporters with an update on preparations for the new season, with positive news on continuity and developments across the club ahead of the new campaign.

While the close season may have seemed quiet from the outside, there has been plenty happening behind the scenes at Deal Town as preparations continue for the new campaign. Kingy updates us:

'As we head into the early part of summer, we hope everyone has enjoyed the beautiful Bank Holiday weather and managed to get some time to relax and recharge.

While things may have gone quiet publicly during the off-season, there has been plenty happening behind the scenes as we continue preparing for the new campaign.

We’re delighted to say that we’ll be keeping a very similar squad to last season, with the boys showing real commitment and desire to continue pushing this club forward.

There will be final announcements regarding the squad in June once league forms are signed, but the stability in the squad at Deal Town is something we’ve built strongly on and we are pleased to be able to keep that continuity moving forward.

Alongside that, we’ve had some really positive conversations with potential new signings and have already got things in place with one or two players. There will be announcements on these to come over the next few weeks.

The boys return in the middle of June and, speaking to many of them already, they’re ready and raring to go ahead of the new season.

Away from the first team, there is also plenty happening across the club with youth team trials ongoing and our Under-18 and Under-16 squads currently being finalised. It’s great to see the continued growth and future of the club developing.

We’ll be bringing supporters a full update across all areas of the club over the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for more news.

For now, enjoy the rest of your summer and we can’t wait to see everyone back at Charles Ground on July 4th as we get ready to go again together.

Up the Hoops!
