Welome to Ade and Danny.

Steve has certainly made some impressive signings and when you think of the retained list and the quality we already had the squad is certainly looking good.

Well done Steve and another mention to the media team, loving the videos and the way the players are being introduced.



(Guy at work is an AFC Wimbledon fan and said Ade was a decent player for them, quick and reckons he'll do really well for us).

(Just found Dannys stats at Sheppey:- 2019/20 - 36 (19) 2020/21 - 18 (6), thats a very good goals return for a winger)

Here you go Mikey, squad of 20 (so far ):-

Golakeepers: Craig King, Dan Wilks

Defenders: Tom Bonner, Connor Essam, Josh Hill, Ronnie Vint, Jordan Wynter, Bagasan Graham

Midfielders: Noor Husin, Jack Jebb, Luke Allen, Cameron Brodie, Tyrique Hyde, Keiran Murtagh,

Wingers: Luke Wanadio, Danny Leonard

Forwards: George Porter, Dan Roberts, Jake Robinson, Ade Azeez

Tried to pick a team but gave up with a massive headache

Cheers PL, that’s very helpful.

In my opinion , ( if I was picking team ) only king in goal, maybe Bonner in defence,Husain in midfield and jake upfront pick themselves, any others it’s up for grabs. That to me shows a great squad. It’s a marathon not a sprint so let’s at least give it a few games before we are on there backs even up the darts !

Just realised that exhaustive list of players is on Dartford FC’s Wikipedia page. I was looking for it on the DFC website
Looks like half of last season’s squad has been retained - certainly more than I thought. Pity JBA isn’t one of them as he was a class apart, but maybe Hyde will fill the boots as he was pretty decent last time around. Just over three weeks to go!!

You can find the current full list if you click on the New Signing page for Danny Leonard - and what an impressive list it is!

Another good reference from an AFC fan for Ade. Lightening pace which scares defenders and causes general mayhem, but will have to live with the chances he misses. Sounds like Duane Ofori-Acheampong before he got injured. I'm told he will be a fans favourite who will provide plenty of entertainment with a dollop of frustration in the mix.

Excellent update by the Manager this afternoon! Speaks with such authority without going over the top. Looking forward to an exceptional season - no pressure lol!

Very good interview, refreshing honesty about the JBA situation, it's great that these questions are being asked and answered. Excellent insight into the situation with the full back position.
Again SK is bang on when explaining that Romain, Charlie or Jack may go on and score goals at their new clubs. It just didn't quite click into place last season.

Looking forward to being back at PP at some point soon.

These videos are excellent for keeping the fans updated with news from the club, well done to all involved.

The signing of Tyrique and Keiran just confirmed to me that Jacob was thinking of going elsewhere. Well done Steve for keeping the door open to him should his hopes come to nothing in that regard. But for me Jacob was this clubs best signing in ten years.
Danny Leonard sounds a very good signing albeit from a lower division. I like that Steve thinks highly of him, I hope he makes the grade, it's a big step up.
This is a more experienced squad than the one of last year. Having said that there are plenty in our division that are making big signings and bolstering their squads. It is not going to be any easier this season.
