Last season’s Supporters’ Player of the Year, Jacob Gratton, has committed to staying at Raygar Stadium as the Nailers aim to go one better and secure promotion.

Harry Draper, who missed last season through injury and made his comeback in the play-off semi-final against Basford, will also be part of Lee Attenborough’s squad.

Kieran Preston will also remain with the Nailers, while defenders Ben Rhodes, Jack Broadhead, Ioan Evans and Louis Keenan have all committed to the club for the new season.

Midfielders Jonathan Wafula, Curtis Burrows and Lewis Austin have been retained, along with young goalkeeper Joshua Hassett.

Further announcements regarding the remainder of last season’s squad will be made in due course.
