DIDCOT Town have re-signed nine players ahead of their Evo-Stik South League East Division campaign.

And boss Andy Ballard has also brought in Ryan Markham to bolster his squad ahead of next season.

Captain Adam Learoyd has put pen to paper, along with Leigh Bedwell, Cameron McNeill, David Murphy, Seth Humphries, Lewis Hayden and Ollie Thomas.

Youth team duo Callum Young and Brett Gardner, who both made appearances for the first team last season, have also signed South League forms.

Markham, who can play as a right back or in midfield, joins from Wantage Town, having played a key role in their fourth-placed finish in the Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division last season.

Didcot are still encouraging the local community to get behind their team with their £99 season ticket deal still on offer.
