Following the appointment of their new management team, they have wasted no time in getting stuck in and looking at shaping their squad for the 2018/19 season. 

Since taking over they have met with the 2017/18 squad and have decided which players they are offering new deals to and those that they will be releasing to find new challenges for the coming campaigns.

So far Andy Pugh, Lee Noble and Tom Bonner have signed new contracts, whilst the club have also taken up their options to keep Ronnie Vint and Mark Onyemah.

The club have therefore decided to release Ryan Hayes, Alex Brown, Nathan Collier, Lyle Della Verde and Danny Harris. The club are still in discussion with a number of players and they and others will be invited back to show what they can do and potentially earn themselves new deals during pre-season.

Also joining the team will be a new goalkeeping coach for next season, with Andy Young joining Dartford to replace Barry Bell.

Speaking about the players that the club have decided to retain, joint manager Adam Flanagan said: “Jamie and myself are really happy with the players we have managed to retain and we hope to have further news in the upcoming week on players from last season and potential new signings”
