Midfielder Zack Kopanski made his first team debut in the previous season friendly against Radcliffe. Currently on dual registration with neighbours Barnton.

Forward Wentworth Sanders is a lively, direct winger who has an eye for goal and can also play as a central striker.

Midfielder Harry Woods comes from a family with a rich history in football. An energetic midfielder who has seriously impressed in first team training and with his performances for the Under 18s.
