James
Forward · #12
One of three new signings in the summer.
James is a magician with the ball at his feet, dancing round defenders.
With pace and strength he has been equally effective up front or on the wing through pre-season and first few games of the season.
James is a cool customer in front of goal and we hope he will score loads for us this season.
Welcome to the team.
Sam
Forward · #6
Sam epitomises hard work. He sets the tempo from the front line, pressing high and winning the ball back in dangerous areas to help start attacks. He has pace to burn, has scored some brilliant goals recently and continues to improve all aspects of his game. Definitely another one to watch.
Carlo
Forward · #5
An attacking player with great technique, something Carlo has shown over the years with his keepie-ups and shooting ability. We’re still not sure whether there’s more Bruno Fernandes or Alejandro Garnacho in his game — perhaps a bit of both! We’re looking forward to seeing the impact Carlo can make as we move into 11-a-side football.
Ethan M
Forward · #10
Ethan gives the team a real physical presence when required, but he also has a deft touch and has been adding more goals to his game last season. Like Chris Sutton, his best position might ultimately be in defence, but he offers us so much up top that it simply can’t be ignored. He has already scored some big goals this season, helping turn games around when we’ve been behind.
Calvin
Forward · #11
An integral part of the team over the last few years, Calvin continues to shine in a more advanced role. He can play in several positions but prefers to be further forward — giving him the best chance to show off those goal celebrations! Should he be the favourite for top goalscorer? Only time will tell.
Oliver
Midfielder · #24
One of three new signing in the summer
Triple C, Cool, Calm, Crerand has joined us this pre-season. He has brought composure and determination to our team. Oliver is always making him self available for the ball and is selfless in working back for the team.
We have high hopes for Oliver this season.
Ollie
Midfielder · #8
“Nutmeg”, as the coaches refer to him, has added a different dimension to our attacking play. His distribution and vision have been clear to see from day one, and as we move into 11-a-side football, we’re hoping to see Ollie add even more goals to his game.
Ethan C
Midfielder · #23
One of three new signing this summer
Ethan is a box to box midfielder and has a determination and will to win that is second to none.
He is the complete midfielder in that he is as comfortable winning the ball back as he is scoring goals.
Just a few games in but we hope for a big contribution by Ethan.
Lewis
Midfielder · #16
Mr Consistent. Lewis has been one of the team’s top goalscorers for a number of years, with a real knack for being in the right place at the right time. Capable of moments of individual brilliance, he also understands the importance of being a team player.
Leo
Midfielder · #7
Leo has a real bag of tricks that can be used to great effect when Saturday comes. He has an eye for goal, but is also selfless enough to recognise when a teammate is in a better position. We’re looking forward to seeing Leo continue to progress with the team over the weeks, months and years ahead.
Lee
Goalkeeper · #17
A determined defender or dynamic midfielder, Lee has so many attributes that he can benefit the team in several areas of the pitch. He loves having fun within the group and is always winding up players and coaches alike. Fiercely competitive, the move to 11-a-side pitches allows him to make the most of his attributes.
Nico
Defender / Utility · #9
The final member of the original squad who joined the team at just three or four years old. Mr Versatile — Nico can play almost anywhere on the pitch and make an impact. Just as comfortable scoring goals as he is stopping them in defence, he also leads by example in both training and games.
Liam
Midfielder / Forward · #4
One of only three players who have been with the team since day one. Whether playing in midfield or attack, Jude has consistently created and scored goals, helping the team to many positive results over the years.
Ethan L
Defender · #22
Robbie
Defender · #15
Calm and comfortable on the ball, Robbie has for years helped start our play from the back. He’s a great reader of the game and a silky-smooth operator. Equally capable of stepping into midfield, he can dictate play and control the tempo of a game — an impressive skill at such a young age.
Adam
Defender · #19
In his first full season with the team, Adam has made an immediate impact on both the group and our games. He has a great work ethic and has already scored some wonderful goals with his wand of a left foot. Currently playing in defence, but more than capable of stepping forward when required.
Jack W
Defender · #18
Our very own Sergio Ramos. Jack loves to defend but is equally comfortable bringing the ball out from the back and starting attacks. He has developed into a great defender who takes real pride in the job he does for his team.
Jack G
Goalkeeper · #1
One of our goalkeepers and potentially from the Andy Goram school of goalkeeping — not the tallest, but an unbelievable shot-stopper and super brave coming off his line. Some of his saves defy logic, but we’re certainly not complaining!
Liam
Goalkeeper · #21
Swapped outfield for goalkeeper a few years ago, and we’ve certainly benefited from that decision. Great distribution and a real presence in goal. Desperate to hit direct free kicks or go up for corners — but we’ll try to keep a lid on that… if possible!
