Retained List - Updated. Probably. If I Remember.
Posted: 18 May 2023, 22:29
**Updated 20/08/23**
Signings:
Josh Hawker - Improbably barnetted warrior returns.
Miracle Okafor - Hopefully nominative determinism from Willenhall.
Ryan Wynter - Headline writer's dream of a stopper. It's not just about a gnome Stu.
Reece Mitchell - Left back from posh Walsall, as if such a thing exists. Either two first names or two surnames depending upon how you look at it.
Caine Elliott - Step 5 tyro dynamo from the old fo(e)
George Cater - Tamworth winger. Which Brother Avery will think is a typo.
Jack Byrne - experienced midfield general with lots of Step 2 carrot-cruncher experience.
"Sir" Owen Woodhouse - Defender from Oldbury via Forest Green. Vegan, no doubt.
Todd Parker - Midfielder from our old friends at Hednesford Lazarus. Looks about 12. But something in his biog makes my Spidersense tingle. Doc’s “One to Watch”. (So bound to be the new Mark Stirk).
Ryan Boothe - Striker who looks young but also might have the stamp of a journeyman lump. Let’s see. Kev probably already hates him.
Luke Redfern - Young Stokie defender.
Last one in and away we go.
Players retained:
Dan Platt
Josh Ezewele
Nathan Hayward
McKauley Manning
Kieren Donnelly
Kieron Morris
Richard Gregory
Jack Holmes
Jac Hickman
Players apparently still “in negotiations with the club” but they haven’t featured so far, so I’ll guess they’ve gone:
Brogan Halpin
Taylor Homer
And where the others have gone:
Simeon Cobourne - Coleshill.
Rob Evans - Coleshill.
Josh Quaynor - Leamington.
Tom Turton - Chasetown.
Jamie Insall - Redditch.
Matthew Funge - Boldmere.
Dexter Dudley-Toole - Gresley.
Asa Charlton - AFC Wulfs.
Brad Birch - Retired.
Dan Whitehouse - Free agent.
Dan Brookes - Free agent.
Max Morris - Tividale.
Richard Smith - Worcester Raiders.
Nat Kelly - Alvechurch.
Oscar Tonge - Halesowen Reserves. Sorry, Coleshill.
Jac Redhead - Finally succumbed.
And I've probably forgot someone.
