Windsor & Eton have announced a host of players staying at Stag Meadow as the club prepare for the Isthmian League – including young star Luke Philips.
Philips played 40 times for the Royalists last season and was nominated in two categories at the Berkshire Football Awards as Windsor marched through the Combined Counties League play-offs, scoring six times.
Windsor have already made one new signing in former Bracknell Town forward Jack Mazzone. Mazzone, along with Philips scored the goals in the play-off final that sent the Royalists up in a 2-0 win over Broadfields United.
Among the other retained players are the right-sided full-back and wing-back Kieran Jordan, captain Ben Hutchings and Sam Hutchings, Toby Bridges, Bruno Dos Santos, Ethan Darcey and Tahir Carmichael.
Meanwhile one departure is Luke Appleton – one of a few players to feature for both Windsor, and Windsor & Eton at Stag Meadow, while another recent departure, Ben Catt, is expected to join Combined Counties League Premier Division South Yateley United.
