We are pleased to confirm that Billy Padfield is staying with us for the 2026/27 season. Billy joined the squad from Bristol Telephones for the 2024/25 season and after a frustrating early season injury, quickly established himself as the first choice right back.

Retained by Kieran Baggs last year, Billy was made club captain but again suffered an early injury that effectively ended his season. That didn’t prevent him from joining the squad each week offering great support for the lads.

Assistant manager, Martin Lenihan, says: “We did everything to keep him from leaving to go to Southern League opposition last season. Unfortunately his recurring shoulder injury has meant he’s had a frustrating season on the sidelines but looks forward to bouncing back this season with us after successful surgery!”
