First team manager Hugo Langton has strengthened the first team with 3 further signings, having previously signed Dave Blundell and Lee Speirs.
Kevin Brown and James Mills have joined from Tunbridge Wells, and Gary Stock has signed from Faversham Town.
"As far as I am concerned we now have the stength, depth and more importantly competition in the squad ready for the long season ahead.
Kevin Brown is a vastly experienced player who has played for most of the major Kent based non league clubs, having previously been a YTS at Gillingham. His experience and quality will be a major asset to the club this season both on and off the field. I am delighted to have him at the club, as he is motivated purely by driving this club forward.
Gary Stock is a player I have been talking to ever since I was appointed manager. I have known him for a few years and like Browny was a YTS at Gillingham. He is a leader on the pitch and his quality again cannot be questioned, and I am delighted he is involved now.
James Mills came in initially on a two match trial, and has more than impressed. He is a quick and strong centre back, who also is desperate to be involved in the future that this club is hopefully heading in. His attutude in training and in the two matches has been second to none.
With Speirsy and Blunds already in, I feel that signing wise that's it for now. We have so much quality now at the club, and everyone is up for the challenge ahead.
So far I have been blown away by the players attitudes in pre season.
Everyone has worked so hard and I now have some major decisions to make.J R and I have had a good look at everyone in the last few weeks and we have learned a lot in the games we have played so far. Some players will be disappointed if they are not initially included but mine and JR's job will then be to work with them as the door will never be closed to anyone.
We now have 2 high profile games against Kent Premier League opposition with Beckenham coming to the Farm on Saturday and Sevenoaks next Tuesday. It will be a good chance to get fitness levels up further and for players to get more pitch time against excellent opposition"
1st team training starts the 1st July 07 at Jockey Farm. Trialists are due in at 11am and current Rusthall playing staff (first team and reserves) to be at the club for 1145 for a full training session, followed by a BBQ.
A message from Hugo Langton:
"JR and I are very excited about next season and working with the players. Having secured the services of Lee Speirs, we are looking to strenghten the side with 3 more signings (we are currently talking to several Kent League players) but I believe the overall quality of the squad currently at the club is excellent. As we get through pre season and into the nitty gritty, Monday nights will be more about recovery and will give us a chance to work with the players more on an individual basis. Wednesdays will be the key session ahead of Saturdays. We're going for it this season, and if we all work hard together and believe in each other, then we will take some stopping. "
