One thing I have noticed, alot of clubs even at this level publish a retained list of players, or have at least confirmed several new signings already! I'm not having a go at the club here, but it does feel we are slower on the uptake of getting new players in, or is it that we take a more methodical approach to recruitment? Why the hurry? Shake the player tree higher up the pyramid and see what drops. Many announced as signings now (and remember players are still registered with their previous clubs until the end of May) will be looking for another club in August. "Slowly slowly catchy monkey"!

All the best to Harrison, for my money as good as if not better than both Rushworth and Covolan, who both went on to play professional football. Hope H makes it too.

The 'prolific' Javaun Splatt has signed for Whitehawk. As has Luca Cocaracchio.

He's been excellent and although I do think Rushworth and Covolan were marginally better in some respects, Harrison's distribution was second to none. I'd have to rely on Kenty for the stats but can't see many keepers with more assists than him this past few years. To also have him as 'ours' and not a loanee was also good for the club so hopefully that'll pay dividends in the future.
All the best to him!*
*cue nervous wait for word of a replacement!

100% best wishes to Harrison. I think Adam has done brilliantly over the years getting a number 1 in, its the 2 thats a challenge.
Anyway. Greg Leur as an option for us?

The disappointment of Harrison going would be tempered by the signing of Lincoln.

Interestingly, Dan Lincoln has also played first class cricket!! Agreement he would be an excellent replacement for H

Lincoln didn't train much with Bognor because he was so busy. While he is a good keeper, I think a fully committed keeper is needed for cohesion. I'm sure there are others who would fit the club profile more.

Roco Rees has been released by Brentford. That might be another option available to us. He knows the club.

Farewell Harrison!
Quality kepper who really waa an asset. We will miss him but I don't begrudge him moving on to play in a higher league. He is a youngman with a bright future!
Will be interesting who we get in but after his SSC final heroics I wouldn't mind seeing Tillmen get a run in the 1st team even if he is second choice keeper .

Annual refresh of the players thread to trim its page number count ( 23 pages in 22/23). As many things relevant to 23/24 have been discussed since we ended our league campaign in Oxford, only posts up to that point will be migrated to the archive page. For all historic player discussion preceding the end of the 22/23 NLS campaign please view the archive... 'Players' Archive Thread - Link

When signing new players you usually get a picture of the new player in the home shirt. Does the potential move away from Kappa delay the announcements? That is off course is there is a new kit supplier. For all we know the club have signed a few players and haven’t told us about it. Like I said just a thought
