Berkshire Non-League transfers 2025/26

An attempt to keep up with the known ins and outs of the Berkshire men’s non-league scene this summer.

As ever, it’s always worth being aware that players announced before the end of June haven’t really signed anything unless they have been contracted by their club. Typically that would be clubs at Step 4 and down, but it has been known!

We’ll update this article with what we know when we know it (and we’ve got a bit of updating to do!..)

OUT Guy Hollis – Slough Town
