Sockett & assistant Dave Stringer have been hard at work talking to potential signings and Martin says that more signings are on the horizon:

"We have made verbal agreements with a few players and hopefully they can be concluded shortly while we are still speaking with others.

"We will also be speaking further with a number of the squad from last season who we have not had chance to speak with so far and that includes the promising youngsters who are coming through and have come through the youth team.

The club have confirmed two signings new signings this week with 24-year-old Chris Charles and 21-year-old Dave Timmins.

No-nonsense Chris lists Stratford, Romulus and Rushall amongst his previous clubs while Dave has previously played for Shepshed, Romulus and Sutton Coldfield.

Martin is pleased to be making more progress on the transfer front:

"Charles is a 6 foot, no-nonsense, pacy defender while Timmins is a talented defender or midfield player - he is 6 foot plus and has great stamina and footballing ability."

Pre-season is set to start for Martin and the team on 29th June before the friendly matches begin.
