Thames Valley Premier League club Berks County have announced their first signings ready for the 2020/21 season.

County, who were top of the Thames Valley Premier League before it was called to a halt, have signed five new players as they look to emulate their success of the 2019/20 season.

The five players are goalkeeper James Nevard, youngster Kai Nobbs, experienced John Swift, former Binfield Development player Dom Lyons as well as the returning Owen Powell.
