Jack Smillie has been made a very good offer to return to Uxbridge. In his short time with us, Jack contributed well and we thank him for his efforts for the club and wish him well at Uxbridge.

On the plus side, forward Jermaine Hamilton has joined us and gave a fine debut performance in the win at Westfield last week, while defender Levi Scarlett has also joined the club. Jermaine had a pre-agreed commitment and was not able to feature in the squad against CB Hounslow.

We welcome Jermaine and Levi and hope they enjoy their time at Hartley Wintney FC.

Many will have already heard the news that Jason O'Donnell has had to step down as Reserve Team Manager due to work commitments - he had begun the job of establishing the Reserves in the Suburban League well. Jason hands over to Danny Roberts, and there's the welcome return of Andy Hunt as Danny's sideman.

Finally, while we're saying welcomes, it's also a big welcome to Rachel Shallcross, the club's new Physio. Rachel has lots of experience in a variety of sports, including football, and Pete Gray is delighted to have her join the club.
