MARK DEAKIN Forward  (27) 

DEEKs is a goal machine, but we have not yet seen the best of him. Missed half of last season after the birth of his son but what we saw of him you had to be impressed. He scored  27 goals in 28 matches for his previous club Rainworth and we hope with Mark fully fit he will perform likewise for us.

STEVEN GARRARD Defender  (20) 

Re-joined late last season after a brief spell with Staveley MW. Played every minute of our 40 games in season 2003-04 and a few in the reserves as well. Strong, committed full back that learnt his trade at Chesterfield.

CRAIG RODGERS Goalkeeper (24) Craig has been with the club for quite a while now and has grabbed his chance when it has arrived. Great stopper and listens and learns. Will always give his best

STEPHEN SPENSLEY  Midfield   (29)   Team Captain SPENER has joined us after many years of us chasing him for his signature. Strong competitive midfield who will give us the strength in the middle to go along side Dave Barrie. Previous club Alfreton Athletic.

MICHAEL NOVAK  Defender (26)  New face at the club this season and has settled into the right back spot. Comfortable on the ball, defends and covers back well and we are pleased to have him on board.

BEN WILLIAMS  Central Defender   (21)   

Ben is our latest signing and we hope he can plug the gaps in our leaky defence. On first impressions he will fit in fine and be a big plus to the side. Strong in the air and tackle, reads the game well.

RICHARD PARKER  Goalkeeper  (23)  'Casper' has rejoined us once again, returning from Teversal. He has undoubted qualities in the goalkeeping field and is hoping to get back to full fitness to be pushing Craig for the first team keepers spot. Great stopper and talks a good game to those in front of him.

KEIRAN CRAWFORD Midfield (19) Recently made the step up to the senior side and has not looked out of place. Good learning spell at Chesterfield and many say he will be the best of the 3 brothers. Can operate in many positions but has been used wide right of midfield so far. One for the future.
