Ten to start for Chasetown

The Scholars narrowly missed out on promotion from the NPL Midlands Division and have moved swiftly to keep some of their key men.

Top scorer Jack Langston, who notched 32 goals from central midfield, has signed for a seventh season.

Joining him is front man Joey Butlin and captain Danny O’Callaghan.

Goalkeeper Curtis Pond has committed his future to Chasetown, despite approaches from clubs in Step 3, while right-back Alex Melbourne has also re-signed.

Players’ Player of the Year Ryan Wynter will return, alongside versatile Luke McGinnell and midfielder Oli Hayward.

Both Mitch Botfield and Ben Lund have another chance to impress having had injury-hit campaigns last term.
