Unofficial Halesowen Town FC Forum

So, in an annual tradition that's been around for, oooo, since I started doing it, here's the list of retained / new / gone blokes.
Who will be the new Sean Flynn? Or the next Mark Stirk? Let's see.

Retained
Platty
Todd Parker
Ryan Wollacott
Ben Cassidy
Mini
Luke Postle
Milan Butterfield
Jamie Willets
Reece Mitchell
Jak Hickman
Josh Smile
Charlie Wragg - playing and scoring for Walsall in PSFs so we can assume that he’s gone back and is unlikely to return. Or not. Back on loan.

New Signings
Jason Cowley. Wow. Season ticket signing. Loads of goals in the wonky bits of Worcestershire.
Alex Gudger Centre-half, been around a bit, mostly at levels above.
Gael Mfuamba Keeper from Tipton, their Young POTY last year.
Kyle Finn - Old boy from our old friends. Winger-y forward in that modern sort of way. Very decent signing. Paid actual cash money for him too apparently, dunno how much but maybe even eclipsing the £1000 we paid for Jonathon Farmer. Lovely hair.

Gone
Ryan WInter - Don't know where though. Tenner says Telford. *edit* I’d have lost my tenner. Hednesford.
Reece Flanagan - Back to Redditch.
Alex Cameron - Redditch too. They could have shared a taxi.
Connor Tee - "Football closer to home". Turning out to be (un)Real Bedford. Maybe he’ll come back when they go bust in December.
KD - Gone to full-time National League. No details as to who yet. Probably bloody Tamworth. *edit - actually Boston.


Dunno
Lewis Solly
Archie Oliver
Jack Birch

Now that’s a signing

Would love Wynter to have stayed but guess he got noticed by quite a few teams from higher leagues. Wish him all the best.
Good Ryan mark 2 is staying and guess he will hope now for more game time.
Cowley is excellent signing and a vast improvement on last close seasons Forward acquisition.
Glad also Parker resigning but feel we will need a goalscoring midfielder to go alongside him.
Glad to hear though things progressing

I just hope it isnt a sign Donnelly is off. Be nice to have two decent forwards.

I'm 50/50 with cowley we all know he is a good player especially for this level but his injury record worries me a little. Hopefully it works out for both parties. Certainly a player that will work his socks off.

He has hardly missed much football in 10 years!!!! The 2020-2021 season was Covid, and think he missed the end of his first season at Hereford. Unless I've missed something. 114 games in the last 3.5 / 4 seasons sound fine to me! and 45 goals to boot.............. I'm most pleased for his uncle Alex............

Absolutely no chance that KD starts next season in a Yeltz shirt. Cowley is his replacement, let's be honest.

Now to find someone for him to play off. Iyseden Christie, anyone?

where does everyone seem to think KD will go to?? Wouldn't surprise me if he stays, but seems I'm in the minority
