For too many years we had players coming in and out whose names we would forget and probably don’t remember off the top of our heads. Players that did not care about the club or its supporters. Players who were just happy to pick up a wage or a last pay check. They would only be here for a season or two maximum and then move on. Constant changes of managers and philosophies each time with bloated squads.
Since 2019 it’s changed. From when JOB and Doyle came in and stuck by the club after it got relegated.
We’ve now got a number of players who have been at the club for quite some time in football terms and that’s created stability, structure and loyalty.
Connell Rawlinson will have chalked up six years at the club when his new contract comes to an end. Same with Richard Brindley by the time his contract ends next summer he will have chalked up five years. Not many players have achieved a milestone like that this century. I can only think of Mike Edwards off the top of my head.
There are others as well;
JOB - Played in five seasons (4 years)
Richard Brindley (4 years)
Sam Slocombe (4 years)
All good servants for the club and have helped the club get to where it is today.
