Manager Mark Swann gives us the lowdown on the retained members of the squad for the 2025/26 season...
GOALKEEPERS
"We are delighted to announce that we have secured our number one, Curtis Pond on contract for the season ahead. Pondy is a much loved figure around the club and an important part of our defensive unit.
Also returning to the club is familiar face, Brad Clarkson. Work commitments hampered Brad last season but he is back on board for the new campaign."
DEFENDERS
"Having been sound defensively last season we are pleased that our whole defensive unit has agreed to remain at the football club for the new season. In Oli Hayward, Joe Dunne and Jordan Evans we feel we have full backs that are as good as the league has to offer.
Our central defensive options are also very strong with Mitch Clarke, Sam Griffiths, Kris Taylor and Kieran Fenton all committing to the forthcoming campaign."
MIDFIELDERS
"The engine room! With the departure of Danny O'Callaghan and Sam Unitt it was important for us to secure the services of our other midfielders. We are delighted to have done so and look forward to seeing the boys back in Chasetown blue.
Long-serving fan favourite Jack Langston has committed for the 25/26 season along with Tom Thorley, Sam Wilding, Lewi Burnside, Joe Thompson and Joey Buckley."
FORWARDS
"As the highest scoring team in the division last season one of our first priorities was to retain our fire power. We have done just that!
Our attacking unit of front men and wide players including Joey Butlin, George Cater, Danny Glover, Max Chimenes, Jay Clement, Luke Yates, Aaron Ashford, Ben Lund and Alfie Taylor have all agreed new deals to remain at Church Street."
