All I can find of note is a 20+ goals at Barwell a few years ago. Last few years seems to be very nomadic not stopping long. Hopefully he can re capture the Barwell form again

4 in 12 at Racing Club Warwick (same record Burrows had here). Went to Long Eaton from there but by all accounts not fit. 9 appearances, mostly as sub.

Spent the summer in the gym getting fit. Elliot knows him, has played with him before and likes him. As you say, hopefully he can recapture form from 4/5 years ago.

Three whole days have gone by and no new signings. Something must have gone wrong. Sandy lost his contacts book?
Before anyone gets on their high horse I'm only joking.

I reckon we need minimum four more players to create competion and flexibility. This is in addition to the youngsters who I hope get their chance in the PSF.
Will we get the usual plethora of trialists?

I'm certain Sandy isn't done signing yet - watch this space.

Already a good number of lads coming in for pre season, various levels of previous experience, and mostly all local and young.

Certainly a decent core coming together, and I'm sure most will agree that under Andy Peaks, some of his best signings were made during the season. I expect the same to be true with Elliot.

As we were late recruiting and others were very quick off the mark I would not be surprised if some of those early signings by other clubs find they are not getting game time by late Sept/early Oct and want to move on..... To us!!!

From the twitter caption I guessed it was Brown Hill.
Someone is being very creative.

Cairo leaves

Where has he gone?
Not a player I would have retained based on his very poor performances last season. Far too many yellow cards for petulance.

Corden the only one not yet decided, but looks like he will not be joining us. For that we have thank Harriman for ignoring him most of the season.

Fraser likely to go but as yet, not confirmed. He has been offered terms, however a lot of people don't know that Fraser has been travelling the best part of 80 miles (each way!) to Hayden Road to play for us, as he's been at University in Derby for the last 2 years. Unbelievable commitment from a great guy. He may have to make a decision to play closer to home this year.

That would be a shame but understandable
